FC Koln vs Stuttgart Preview
FC Koln looked dead and buried in the Bundesliga for a long time, but they have started to turn things around. They still sit bottom of the league with 17 points from 24 matches and it will take a lot to get out of the relegation zone, but they have now given themselves a chance.
Vincent Koziello is likely to feature in central midfield again after a strong full debut last weekend. Jannes Horn is a major doubt as he is suffering from the flu, which means Jonas Hector should switch to the left hand side, with Leonardo Bittencourt playing in attacking midfield. There are unlikely to be any other changes.
Stuttgart are very much in mid-table at the moment, sitting 12th in the Bundesliga. This may not sound great, but they have really turned their form around winning the last three matchs in a row with three consecutive 1-0 results.
Holger Badstuber is likely to get another chance in the defensive midfield position, with manager Tayfun Korkut sticking to the 4-4-2 formation that has been successful recently. Chadrac Akolo and Anastasios Donis will be in the wide positions. Similar to Koln, there are unlikely to be any major changes.

FC Koln vs Stuttgart Prediction
Koln are now level on points with Hamburg after a fantastic 2-1 win at high flying RB Leipzig last weekend. The horrendous first half of the season left them with an almost impossible task in terms of earning survival, but they have done really well so far in the second half of the season to give themselves a slim chance.
New Stuttgart manager Tayfun Korkut has done an excellent job so far, having brought in a new system for the team. If they win this game too, Stuttgart will help move themselves even further away from the relegation zone.
This will be a hard-fought match as both sides need to try and secure safety and Bundesliga football for another season. There aren’t likely to be too many goals, as there have been under 2.5 goals scored in 11 of Stuttgart‘s last 12 games in the Bundesliga.
Stuttgart have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 matches, so the tip is actually for a 0-0 draw in this game.

These two sides seem to be pretty evenly matched, and neither side has had domination over the other during the last couple of seasons. In the last six meetings in all competitions, there have been two FC Koln wins, two Stuttgart wins and two draws.
The match earlier this season was a hard fought contest, which ended with a 2-1 win for Stuttgart. Anastasios Donis put Stuttgart ahead before an equaliser from Dominique Heintz, then in the 3rd minute of injury time Chadrac Akolo grabbed the three points for the hosts.
