This 3. Liga fixture is a match where both Stuttgart II and Hoffenheim II need points to climb out of the lower reaches of the table. Meetings between two reserve sides tend to be open and end-to-end, and the expected picture of a game finishing with around 3.6 total goals makes the direction of this match clear. Stuttgart II play at home after a recent match that finished with a close scoreline; their attack is still producing consistently, but their defence lets opponents into dangerous areas far too often. Hoffenheim II arrive in a similar state, playing open football and trading blows rather than sitting deep. The scorelines in both sides' recent matches have therefore tended to finish with a high number of goals. If the game follows the expected pattern, Stuttgart II should have slightly more of the ball and create more chances at home, while Hoffenheim II will use counter-attacks and speed in transition as their main weapon. Games like this often do not finish with a big margin, and the hosts have a chance to take points from their home advantage.
