My Prediction
Eintracht Frankfurt by 2Strap in folks, we've got a Bundesliga banger on our hands as Eintracht Frankfurt squares up against VfB Stuttgart. When we look at the goalkeepers, Stuttgart’s Alexander Nübel has a respectable 6.80 rating with 10 saves. On the contrary, Eintracht Frankfurt is double-guarded with Kauã Santos flying high with an 8.20 rating ensuring the net's inviolability, and Kevin Trapp adding another layer of defense with 12 saves and a 6.20 rating under his belt.
For Stuttgart, we've got Maximilian Mittelstädt and Nick Woltemade on deck among others. Mittelstädt isn't exactly shooting stars in the goal department but his accurate pass rate’s at a near-mesmerizing 85.9%. Woltemade, though his pass skills are a bit iffy at 64.1%, he justifies it all with a couple of goals.
Eintracht Frankfurt, on the other hand, is flexing Rasmus Kristensen and Michy Batshuayi. Kristensen, apart from being a goal-scoring machine, has maintained a steady passing accuracy around 79.5%. Batshuayi has matched his scoring boots with an 81.5% self-assuredness in his passes.
Having a look at the old logbook, it's clear the teams have traditionally been neck and neck, exchanging victories across seasons. But their recent form shows Eintracht Frankfurt leading with a 13-6-7 season record and Stuttgart lagging behind at 10-7-9. It's like comparing a Greyhound with a Bulldog.
Stuttgart won their last face-off, yet their recent play gives away little confidence with only one draw and three losses in the last five games. Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt just came off a promising victory against Bochum, showing they can still throw a punch or three.
Without intending to irk any Stuttgart fans out there, if I had to bet my grandma's secret cookie recipe, I'd put it on Eintracht Frankfurt. The numbers, the performance, and quite frankly their entire game thus far indicate a stronger side.
