Gladbach have won three of their last four home games, scoring twice or more in each of their last five
Stuttgart have lost two of their last three trips
The visitors are missing four players to international duty, including their 17-goal top-scorer
Stuttgart in tricky position
Stuttgart return to Bundesliga action on Sunday, but they’re missing key names due to the Asian Cup and Africa Cup of Nations. The visitors have put themselves in the mix for a Champions League place this term thanks to a brilliant start, but absentees could hurt them in this clash.
Stuttgart are without Hiroki Ito and Jeong Woo-Yeong, who are both in Qatar at the Asian Cup. They’re also missing Silas Katompa Mvumpa and top-scorer Serhou Guirassy to the Africa Cup of Nations. Guirassy is the biggest miss, as he’s scored 46% of their league goals this term.
The four players have made a combined 52 appearances in the league and those key misses are not ideal for a side who have lost two of their last three trips. Gladbach are unbeaten in five at home, scoring at least twice in each. They’ve won three of their last four starts at this ground, so they stand out as a big price against a depleted Stuttgart side.
