Stuttgart ML -117
Bochum ML +338
Draw +298
I do not like backing favourites on the road, however in this situation I think I can make an exception. Stuttgart is in great form right now, dropping only 4 points in there last 8 games (6-1-1) including 5 straight wins. Bochum is virtually the complete opposite with only 2 points in 8 games (0-2-6). Bochum also only has 2 home wins, 6 draws, 7 losses, far from impressive, Stuttgart has been mediocre on the road, but against a struggling Bochum team it is hard not to back them. Adding the fact that Stuttgart even beat Bayern in Munich a few weeks ago makes this even more appealing. Looking at past stats in the last 10 meetings dating back to 2004 Bochum have only managed 1 victory against Stuttgart with a couple draws, but predominantly Stuttgart wins. Stuttgart already dropped 2 points against Bochum earlier this year, I do not think they will drop anymore against this team, and it is a perfect oppurtunity for them to grab 3 points. If you cannot tell i'm thinking of backing Stuttgart in this spot.
Any opinions?
