At home they have also underperformed with their score being 1 win, 2 draws and a staggering 7 losses.

Stuttgart will next face Dortmund in what is sure to be another significant match for the latter side, as they bid to make much needed progress. Jurgen Klopp’s men have an away record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses, which is quote bad for a team that once used to dominate German football.

Freiburg vs Hoffenheim and Mainz vs Frankfurt

Freiburg are gearing up for a daunting task ahead them at home as they will face Hoffenheim, who are in a far better position than they are at the moment. The hosts are all the way down in 16th position with a total of 21 points and maintain a home record that is not very reassuring (2 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses). Bet365 has therefore decided to assign them unfavorable odds 3.00 (2/1).

Hoffenheim were fortunate enough to receive preferential chances 2.38 (11/8) against the lower side. They sit in 7th spot with 29 points but judging by their squad they could have done even better up until this stage in the competition. While playing on the road they have notched 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, which is part of the reason why a tie between the two has been set at 3.40 (12/5), per Bet365 .

Nevertheless, mobile betting sites have given them preferential odds 2.40 (7/5) to win the game.

Frankfurt lie in 9th with 28 points and their current 5 game form is somewhat uncertain (1 loss, 3 draws and 1 win), which is not that commendable. While playing away from home they have recorded 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, and is the reason why they were given underdog chances 2.90 (19/10) against Mainz.
