Stuttgart vs Frankfurt Prediction
🔊 Last weekend, the Bundesliga burst into the new year with a bang and will continue to thrill us this Tuesday. As part of Matchday 17, a top-tier clash is set: Stuttgart host Eintracht at the "MHP Arena". The hosts have a great opportunity to move into the Champions League spots, while a win for seventh-placed Frankfurt would draw them level on points. This won't be an easy task for the "Eagles", as the "Swabians" have lost just one of their seven home games. However, Frankfurt have triumphed in four of their last five visits to the "MHP Arena". Additionally, the head-to-head history between these teams is marked by high-scoring encounters, which certainly influences our editorial team's prediction.
Head-to-Head
📊 Frankfurt have won four of their last five matches at the "MHP Arena", including a German Cup clash, losing only once. In all five of these matches, the winner scored at least three goals. In the last ten Bundesliga head-to-heads, both home and away, the Eagles have lost to Stuttgart just twice.

Stuttgart Team Overview
⚪ Sebastian Hoeness's squad made a lightning-fast start to the season's resumption. On Saturday, the Swabians visited Leverkusen, where four first-half goals proved decisive, earning them their first win over Bayer since 2018 (4-1). Jamie Leweling scored twice, with Maximilian Mittelstädt converting a penalty and Deniz Undav netting his ninth goal of the campaign.
🔴 With 29 points, Stuttgart have drawn level with Bayer and third-placed Leipzig, who have a game in hand. Due to goal difference (+6), Hoeness's team sits fifth in the standings. A victory on Tuesday could edge the Swabians closer to a top-four finish.

Eintracht Frankfurt Team Overview
🔴 January shows no signs of slowing down: the new year kicks off at full throttle for Eintracht. Between January 9 and 31, the Frankfurt side are set to play seven matches (Stuttgart have one less, with six). The year's opening match was truly thrilling. A spectacular 3-3 draw at Deutsche Bank Park against second-placed Borussia Dortmund turned into a real spectacle. By the 22nd minute, Can Uzun had equalized from the penalty spot, and in the second half, winter signing Younes Ebnoutalib, who joined from Elversberg, restored parity again in the 71st minute.
⚪ The forward was assisted by another new arrival-Arnaud Kalimuendo Muinga, on loan from Nottingham Forest until the end of the season. In stoppage time, the Eagles took the lead through Mahmoud Dahoud, who scored against his former team, but Dortmund equalized in the 96th minute of this dramatic encounter.
🦅 Dino Toppmöller's side remain seventh in the standings with 26 points, trailing Stuttgart by three. Frankfurt are also on a three-match unbeaten run in the Bundesliga (one win and two draws), although they have managed just one point from their last two away games.

Latest news
Stuttgart
🎙 Sebastian Hoeneß after the match against Bayer: "A lot of what we planned came together in the first half. The first 30 minutes were really strong, and this is a well-deserved victory. Special mention goes to Atakan Karazor and Jeff Chabot - they might not have been directly involved in the goals, but they initiated many attacks brilliantly. Our confidence and determination are back. We want to draw strength from this in the coming weeks."
📝 Jovan Milosevic has been loaned to Werder until the end of the season. Simultaneously, the Swabians have extended the 20-year-old forward's contract until June 30, 2029. The player has just returned from a year-long loan at Belgrade's Partizan, where he scored 19 goals and provided 5 assists in 30 matches across all competitions in his native Serbia.
❌ Dan-Axel Zagadou and Luca Mack will miss the match due to injuries. Tiago Tomas is doubtful. Bilal El Khannouss remains unavailable as he has reached the semifinals of the Africa Cup of Nations with the Moroccan national team.
Eintracht Frankfurt
🎙 Dino Toppmöller after the match against Borussia: "What a game! What more could a football fan ask for? Plenty of goals, high intensity, and great duels. We knew that against a team like this, we had to play powerfully and bravely. We showed character by coming back twice. Over 90 minutes, it's a fair result. It's especially pleasing that we displayed energy and a desire to win. Younes Aït-Nouri made an immediate impact-it wasn't easy for him against three defenders over 1.90 meters tall. He gave his all and deservedly scored."
❌ Injuries to Jonathan Burkardt, Jean-Matthieu Baoya, and Michy Batshuayi are concerning, though the participation of the first two remains uncertain. Fares Chaibi won't make it back in time from international duty with Algeria. Ellyes Skhiri might be ready to play after returning from the Tunisia camp. Timothy Chandler and Elias Baum are also sidelined. Arthur Theate's participation is uncertain due to a leg issue from the previous match.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Matthias Jollenbeck has been appointed as the main referee for the match at the "MHP Arena". On average, over the last 10 games, the German referee has shown 3.6 warnings per game. Looking at the head-to-head history, these encounters can't be labeled as overly aggressive, yet they are far from being friendly affairs. We consider a bet on over 3.5 yellow cards, which has hit in 5 of the last 6 meetings between these teams, as well as in 4 of Stuttgart's last 5 matches.
⚽ Goal Predictions
Hönes's team is showcasing high efficiency this season, averaging 1.8 goals per match in the Bundesliga. Eintracht have found the back of the net in 9 of their last 10 league matches, yet they are one of the worst teams in terms of goals conceded - 33 (only Heidenheim and Wolfsburg have more with 36). For this match, we predict that both teams will score (yes), as has been the case in 5 of their last 6 meetings at the "MHP Arena".
🚩 Corner Predictions
The "Swabians" rank third in the league for average corners after 16 rounds - 5.5 per match. The "Eagles" are in the lower half of the list with an average of 4.7 corners, placing them 12th. We consider Stuttgart's individual total under 6.5 corners, which has been successful in 7 of their last 8 Bundesliga matches.
Editor's Prediction
Matches involving Eintracht are traditionally unpredictable and chaotic, with the Eagles rarely playing pragmatically and with discipline. Considering Stuttgart's form this season, especially their performances at home, we anticipate a home victory with a scoreline of 2-1.
We also predict a total of over 2.5 goals-a trend seen in the last seven head-to-head encounters between these teams at the MHP Arena and in nine of Stuttgart's last ten Bundesliga matches. While both teams have had limited recovery time, the high individual quality of their attacking players suggests a high-scoring affair.
