In the last season, Stuttgart saved themselves from relegation in the spectacular last round with a winning goal in stoppage time. This season, Stuttgart found itself in problems once again. Right now, they are in 16th place, with only one point more than the last-placed Hoffenheim.
At home, Stuttgart are significantly better than on the road and could win points against better teams than them. On their pitch, they won 15 points, compared to only five on the road.
Wolfsburg failed to qualify for the continental competitions in the last season by finishing 12th. They started the season poorly but had an excellent sequence before the winter break, which helped them move up in the standings. After the break, they won 6:0 vs Freiburg and 5:0 against Herta, and when everyone expected another great run, they collapsed and lost four of the next five games.
In the recent three games, Wolfsburg showed some improvements by winning against Koln and drawing with Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Stuttgart vs Wolfsburg pick: Both teams to score
Even though Stuttgart will battle against relegation this season, they are not a bad home team. This season, they played 13 matches and scored at least one goal in ten of them.
On the other hand, Wolfsburg can score against any team in the Bundesliga. Since the winter break, they have played five road matches and failed to score just against Schalke. Even in that match, they had an opportunity to score, but Maximilian Arnold missed the penalty shot.
In the first h2h match this season, we have seen a 3:2 win for Wolfsburg.

Stuttgart Team News
After a 1:1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt, coach Bruno Labbadia spoke with the media. He said the team can play well against anyone, even against Bayern, but they keep missing opportunities to win. When asked about the situation on the league's table, he said he has confidence they will leave three teams behind them, but also added that the battle could last until the last day of the season.
The team's top goalscorer, Serhou Guirassy, missed five games due to a tendon injury but is close to returning to the field. He is listed as questionable for the Wolfsburg match.
Besides Guirassy, who is questionable, four other players will miss the game due to injuries. Still, all those players are primarily backup options: Lilian Egloff, Enzo Millot, Dan-Axel Zagadou, and Pascal Stenzel.

Wolfsburg Team News
The team's coach, Niko Kovač, was satisfied after a 1:1 draw with Union Berlin. He said they performed brilliantly over 90 minutes and deserved all three points. "I'm obviously not happy with the result because – as we did against Frankfurt – we dropped two points that would have been useful in the race for sixth place," he added.
Wolfsburg should have almost the entire squad for the Stuttgart match. Only Bartol Franjić will miss the game due to a muscle injury.
