Stuttgart managed to catch their breath during the break, but for a long time they had to play a busy schedule, combining performances in the Champions League and the Bundesliga. After the break, the Swabians played two matches, in which they won against Augsburg (1:0) and Leipzig (2:1). Six points scored in these matches allowed them to rise to fifth place, with the gap from fourth-placed Leipzig being only one point. At home, Sebastian Hoeneß team has been successful throughout the season, winning five out of nine matches. Over the last five home matches, Stuttgart only serious misfire was in the confrontation with St. Pauli - a 0:1 defeat.

11.50Tip and bets
Stuttgart won two matches after the break and came very close to the top 4, where, under certain circumstances, they may find themselves today, but they need to win first and foremost. Freiburg have been unconvincing away from home throughout the season, and the defeat to Eintracht in the last round demonstrated this once again. We expect that, largely due to the home field factor, the Swabians will be able to score three points today.

Stuttgart has been playing well against Freiburg in the first half, and in the four previous head-to-head matches they have not lost in this period, and have won three times. We expect the hosts to show their advantage right away today.
