General match analysis

Hoffenheim remain winless after their first two league matches, but they create significantly more chances at home, averaging 18 shots, including 6 on target, with an xG of 2.09. Stuttgart are in better recent form, having won 3 of their last 5 matches and scored 12 goals during that run, compared with Hoffenheim’s 10. However, the visitors’ extremely poor away defensive record could prove decisive: they concede an average of 5 goals and allow opponents chances worth 2.40 xG per match. The hosts are also vulnerable defensively, conceding an average of 3 goals at home and keeping no clean sheets, so this is expected to be an open, high-scoring encounter. Hoffenheim’s advantage in chance creation and possession, averaging 60% compared with Stuttgart’s 41%, slightly favours the hosts to end their winless run.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The signal for both teams to score is strong, as both Hoffenheim and Stuttgart have recorded BTTS in 100% of their matches this season, and neither side has kept a clean sheet yet. Hoffenheim score an average of 4.0 goals at home and concede 1.0, while Stuttgart score an average of 1.0 goal away from home but concede as many as 5.0. The hosts create a high volume of chances, as confirmed by an average of 22 shots, 8 shots on target and an xG of 2.39, while Stuttgart’s defence allows an xG of 2.40. The visitors have solid grounds to respond, having scored an average of 2.4 goals in their last five matches, while Hoffenheim conceded 2.2 goals per game during the same period. Both teams’ recent BTTS rate stands at 60%, so despite the season sample being very small, the scenario of at least one goal for each side remains clearly more likely than BTTS - No, meaning that at least one team fails to score.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Hoffenheim have averaged 2.0 goals scored and 2.2 conceded in their last five matches, while Stuttgart have scored 2.4 goals per game. The hosts create a high volume of chances, with an average xG of 2.39 and 8 shots on target, while Stuttgart allow opponents an xG of 2.40. In their last five appearances, both teams recorded matches with Over 2.5 goals in 100% and 80% of cases, respectively, with a combined total of 22 goals scored. The strongest pick is Over 1.5 goals, as both teams’ current attacking metrics and defensive weaknesses clearly reduce the likelihood of a match finishing with no more than one goal.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

The strongest signal points to Hoffenheim leading at the break and maintaining their winning position, as the home data shows that the hosts won 100% of their matches, while Stuttgart lost 100% of their away fixtures. Hoffenheim score an average of 4.0 goals at home and register 8 shots on target per match, whereas the visitors concede as many as 5.0 goals away from home. The hosts’ advantage is also evident before half-time: they have scored an average of 1.0 goal, conceded none, and led in 100% of such matches, while Stuttgart were always behind at the break, scoring 0.0 goals. After the interval, the hosts add an average of 3.0 goals, while Stuttgart’s defence allows an average of 4.0 goals during that period, further strengthening the 1/1 scenario. Recent form favours Stuttgart, who have won 3 of their last 5 matches, but Hoffenheim have the higher xG in this season-long comparison, 2.39 versus 1.24, so the hosts remain the favourites.
