Prediction

  • Stuttgart will have one eye on Champions League action in midweek, while the "Wolves" will still be smarting from an agonising last-gasp 4-3 loss in Leverkusen.
  • Wolfsburg have improved slightly under ex-Southampton and Leipzig boss Ralph Hasenhüttl, and interestingly remain without a draw in 12 games -- five wins and seven defeats.
  • Stuttgart edged both meetings last season and can get the job done again.
