Best Bets

  1. VfB Stuttgart -1.25: HSV's 11 injuries gut their midfield/attack; Stuttgart's 2 PPG and Undav's scoring tear them apart.
  2. Over 3: Stuttgart 2 PPG + HSV 1.3 PPG totals 3.3 expected; HSV fouls lead to goals.

Prediction

VfB Stuttgart dominates 3-1. HSV's injury apocalypse and 0-3 L10 can't match Stuttgart's firepower at home.
