VfB Stuttgart v Borussia M.Gladbach Prediction and Preview – 26/09/15
Bundesliga preview – VfB Stuttgart v Borussia M.Gladbach prediction
VfB Stuttgart have plenty of options after a number of good performances midweek. Alexander Zorniger may choose to start with the same XI. Daniel Didavi could play out wide or from the centre with Timo Werner coming in from the right. Martin Harnik provides a good attacking option from the bench.
Borussia M.Gladbach welcome back Alvaro Dominguez to the much punished back line with Andreas Christensen likely to partner him in defence. Other than that caretaker manager Andre Schubert is likely to stick with the same XI that got the team their first victory of the season in midweek.
Possible Line-ups
VfB Stuttgart: 4-4-2 formation: Tyton; Klein, Baumgartl, Sunjic, Insua; Didavi, Die, Gentner, Kostic; Ginczek, Werner
Borussia M.Gladbach: 4-4-2 formation: Sommer; Korb, Christensen, Dominguez, Wendt; Herrmann, Dahoud, Xhaka, Johnson; Raffael, Stindl

Prediction
Stuttgart got their first win of the season on Wednesday night against fellow strugglers Hannover in a convincing 3-1 away victory. Although that was their first points of the season it will provide confidence to the squad and a game against a fellow struggling side, in front of their home fans could be exactly what is needed to get them on a winning run.
M.Gladbach also got their first points of the season on Wednesday evening with a win over Augsburg. Currently without a head coach the team played with freedom and looked much more creative in front of goal following the change in formation and personnel, which M.Gladbach will turn up against Stuttgart.
With both these strugglers winning midweek it is difficult to know who will come out on top. The stats show that goals are likely in this game and after Raffael’s three assists last game we tip him to go one better in this game.
