Hoffenheim and Stuttgart will meet at PreZero Arena on May 2, 2026. Stuttgart will play without Al Dakhil, who is sidelined with a knee injury. His absence raises questions about Stuttgart’s chances in this Bundesliga matchup.
The last encounter between the teams ended in a goalless draw. In their last ten league games, Hoffenheim has four wins, three losses, and three draws. Meanwhile, Stuttgart has secured five victories, two defeats, and three draws.
Key statistics:
- Hoffenheim averaged 1.7 goals from 5.6 shots on goal in their last ten games.
- Stuttgart averaged 2.5 goals from 15.3 attempts during the same period.
- Fisnik Asllani leads Hoffenheim with four goals.
- Deniz Undav tops the scoring for Stuttgart with seven goals.
Stuttgart has covered the +0.25 line on the Asian Handicap in eight of their last ten matches. Bookmakers indicate a 55.6% chance of this line being successful again.
Christian Ilzer, Stuttgart’s coach, will need to adjust his strategy without Dakhil. The team aims to maintain momentum against Hoffenheim, who have had mixed results recently.
Sebastian Hoeness commented on Al Dakhil’s condition: “Al-Dakhil is close to returning to training with the first team.” However, his unavailability for this match could be significant for Stuttgart.
The last ten matches between these teams included five draws, three wins for Stuttgart, and two victories for Hoffenheim. Observers expect a competitive showdown given both teams’ current form and recent performances.
