They are clearly superior

Stuttgart were the favorites last week in the game vs Aue on the road, however, they didn't manage to get any points. Although they had the upper hand and created more, they didn't find the net. It's worth mentioning that they stood with a man less from the 66th minute so they avoided taking many risks. The experienced attacker Mario Gomez is doubtful, while central defender Kaminski and defensive midfielder Mangala are injured. Defender Sosa was sent of in the game against Aue and is not eligible to play tonight.

Bochum scored three goals once again at their home but eventually they didn't win over Wehen. They reverted the 0-3 of the first half into 3-3, scoring the equalizer in the dying minutes from the penalty spot. Now they are second to last, having 2 points after four games played, one point above last placed Wehen. Their coach R. Dutt was sucked off after their disappointing beginning. Midfielder Bella-Kotchap is suspended, while central defender Leitsch is injured.

Stuttgart are one of the main candidates for promotion so they have to win such games at their home. Bochum have a new caretaker manager, but they don't have the quality to face an opponent like this one tonight. Stuttgart to win is my call.
