---------------------------------------------------------
Stuttgart are looking good for a place in the Champions League next season. They are third in the Bundesliga and host Heidenheim who are 11th in the table. The home side are unbeaten in their last eight Bundesliga matches with seven victories and a draw against Union Berlin. The Reds are only four points behind second placed Bayern Munich but 14 adrift of leaders Bayer Leverkusen. The top four go into the Champions League and Stuttgart are currently seven points clear of fifth placed Lepzig. A lot of their success this season is down to their impressive home league form. Ten out of 13 have been won with only Hoffenheim beating them last October. Since then, they have won six at home and drawn the other two. 14 goals have been scored in their last five home league matches.
Heidenheim are 11 points behind the final Europa Conference League position and ten above the relegation play-off place. They have gone five league games without a win but should be safe from the drop. Only one of their last ten league games has been won but six have ended level. Away form has only produced a couple of wins with seven games being lost. 14 goals have been scored in their 13 away league games. Only one of their last five away Bundesliga matches has been won with the most recent being a 1-0 loss at Augsburg. We tip Stuttgart to get the win here and lead at both half and full time.
Stuttgart possible starting lineup:
Nubel; Vagnoman, Anton, Ito, Mittelstadt; Millot, Stiller, Karazor, Fuhrich; Guirassy, Undav
Heidenheim possible starting lineup:
Muller; Traore, Mainka, Gimber, Fohrenbach; Maloney, Schoppner, Pieringer; Dinkci, Kleindienst, Dovedan
Stuttgart vs Heidenheim Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
*The two teams have met five times, with each team winning twice.
*They met for the first time in the Bundesliga in the reverse fixture earlier this season, which Heidenheim won 2-0.
*Four of their five meetings have produced over 2.5 goals.
*Heidenheim have two wins in six away Bundesliga games, losing once.
*Stuttgart have one loss in 17 Bundesliga home games, winning 11.
*The hosts (2) have the fewest Bundesliga draws this season.
*Stuttgart have the third-best attacking record in the league this season, scoring 60 goals in 26 games, 25 more than Heidenheim.
Prediction: Stuttgart 3-1 Heidenheim
With Guirassy back and firing again, Stuttgart have proven impossible to stop since late-January, and they will be out for revenge after losing the reverse encounter. Heidenheim's form has tailed off of late, but even if they do fall to another defeat here, that should not take any shine off what has been a superb first season at this level.
