Match Prediction: Stuttgart vs. Borussia Monchengladbach
Recently, Stuttgart has not been impressive at home. They have lost 6 of their last 7 home Bundesliga matches and have struggled defensively, conceding at least two goals in five of these matches, including against Borussia Monchengladbach. Additionally, in 4 of the last 5 home encounters against this opponent in the league, Stuttgart failed to keep a clean sheet.
Gerardo Seoane's side has had mixed results away, but Borussia consistently pushes forward in every match. Their scoring ability is notable: in the last 12 away Bundesliga matches, they failed to score only against Bayern Munich, and in seven instances, Borussia scored at least twice.
I expect an effective attacking performance from the visitors, and my prediction: Borussia Monchengladbach individual total over 1
