Bologna are the stronger side and should exploit Fiorentina’s 18th-place defensive struggles. However, the visitors' talent in Kean makes a clean sheet unlikely for the hosts.

Shot volume is a key indicator of which team dictates the flow and territorial dominance during a match.
Supported by 56.7% possession, Stuttgart’s high shot frequency is a direct result of their territorial control.
While taking fewer shots than Stuttgart, Frankfurt’s 33 goals suggest high efficiency from their wide-based attacks.

Team News & Lineups
Stuttgart (Sebastian Hoeneß)
- Out: Dan-Axel Zagadou (unknown injury), Luca Jaquez (hamstring)
- Unavailable: Bilal El Khannouss (called up to national team until 19/01/2026), L. Stergiou (red card suspension)
- Notable absence list also includes: Alexander Nübel, L. Assignon, Y. Keitel, N. Darvich, E. Demirovic (listed as missing)
Probable XI (4-2-3-1):
A. Nubel; J. Vagnoman, R. Hendriks, J. Chabot, M. Mittelstadt; A. Karazor, A. Stiller; J. Leweling, N. Nartey, C. Fuhrich; D. Undav
Implication:
- If El Khannouss is missing, Stuttgart lose a high-output creator (3 goals, 3 assists) and may lean even harder on Leweling and Mittelstädt to drive chance creation.
- Defensive options look stretched, and that matters against Frankfurt’s wing-led punch.
Eintracht Frankfurt (Dino Toppmoller)
- Out: Mario Götze, T. Chandler, J. Burkardt, M. Batshuayi (listed as missing)
Probable XI (3-4-2-1):
K. Santos; R. Doan, A. Theate, R. Koch, R. Kristensen; O. Hojlund, H. Larsson, N. Brown; A. Knauff, C. Uzun; Y. Ebnoutalib
Implication:
- If Burkardt (8 league goals) is absent, Frankfurt’s finishing burden shifts to Can Uzun (6) and the wide runners — the build still flows, but the box edge feels different.
The Tale of the Tape
| Metric | Stuttgart | Eintracht Frankfurt |

| Clean Sheets (Bundesliga) | 38% | 19% |
Stuttgart look like the team that can control the pitch through volume — more shots, more ball, more territory. Frankfurt look like the team that can turn any match into mayhem, with goals at both ends baked into their numbers.

Tactical Battle: How the Match Plays Out
Stuttgart’s plan: squeeze the middle, shoot early
Hoeneß’s Stuttgart want the game in Frankfurt’s half. They play possession football, stack short passes, and attack through the middle — and they do it with a shot-happy edge (15.2 per match).
That’s where Deniz Undav becomes the spear. He’s Stuttgart’s league top scorer with 9 goals and averages 4.1 shots per game — the definition of a striker who doesn’t wait for perfect chances. Around him, Jamie Leweling (key creator) and Maximilian Mittelstädt (3 goals, 3 assists, 7.16 rating) give Stuttgart width and final-ball quality.
But there’s a catch. Stuttgart are weak defending counter attacks and weak stopping opponents from creating chances. That’s not a footnote against Frankfurt — it’s a flashing warning sign.
Frankfurt’s plan: hit wide, steal high, drag Stuttgart into a sprint
Frankfurt’s strengths read like a blueprint for upsetting a possession side: attacking down the wings is very strong, and stealing the ball from the opposition is very strong too. They’ll look to disrupt Stuttgart’s rhythm, then explode into space.
Ritsu Doan is central to that chaos: 4 goals and 4 assists, a 7.11 rating, and the kind of ball-carrying that forces full-backs to retreat. Farès Chaïbi adds the final pass (6 assists), while Can Uzun brings finishing and craft (6 goals, 3 assists). If Stuttgart’s build-up gets loose, Frankfurt can be on them in seconds.
Frankfurt’s problem is structural: aerial duels are weak, protecting the lead is weak, and defending long shots is very weak. Stuttgart create long-shot opportunities at a very strong level. That’s a matchup begging for a hammer shot from the edge when Frankfurt’s block drops too deep.
Why it could explode
Stuttgart have seen over 2.5 goals in seven straight home clashes with Frankfurt in all competitions. Add Frankfurt’s streak of conceding on the road, and you’ve got a fixture that can change shape three times in one half.
Key Moments to Watch
- The long-shot danger zone: Stuttgart are very strong at creating long-shot chances; Frankfurt are very weak defending them. That’s a pressure point all night.
- Wide overloads: Frankfurt’s wing threat versus Stuttgart’s counter-attack fragility — if Stuttgart lose the ball with numbers committed, Frankfurt will flood the flanks.
- Game management late on: Both sides are flagged with weaknesses protecting a lead; if someone goes ahead, expect the match to stay edgy.
What could go wrong?
If Stuttgart’s missing bodies bite — especially in defence — Frankfurt’s transitions can turn clean phases into scramble defending. And if Frankfurt’s finishing drops without Burkardt, they can do all the hard work, then leave the door open for Stuttgart to punish them with that relentless shot volume.

Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals
However, Stuttgart is vulnerable. They are weak at defending counter-attacks and often struggle to stop opponents from creating high-quality chances. This is a critical flaw when facing an Eintracht Frankfurt side built specifically to exploit space. Frankfurt is very strong at attacking down the wings and stealing possession high up the pitch, meaning any Stuttgart error in the build-up will be met with a lightning-fast transition.
The statistical profile for goals is overwhelming. Frankfurt matches are currently averaging a staggering 4.13 total goals per game, the highest in the division. Furthermore, the Eagles have failed to keep a clean sheet in 10 consecutive Bundesliga away matches. With Stuttgart having seen over 2.5 goals in seven straight home meetings against Frankfurt, the historical and current data align perfectly for a shootout.
Stuttgart’s stretching of the pitch via Mittelstädt and Leweling creates gaps that Frankfurt’s Ritsu Doan and Can Uzun are clinical enough to exploit. Even if Frankfurt is missing top-scorer Burkardt, their tactical identity remains rooted in wide overloads and chaotic transitions. Expect a match where both backlines are under constant duress, leading to multiple goals for both sides.
What could go wrong? A lack of clinical finishing from Frankfurt without their leading marksman, Burkardt, could see them fail to capitalize on their transitions. Alternatively, if Stuttgart’s stretched defense opts for a more conservative, low-block approach to protect their missing personnel, the game could stagnate into a tactical stalemate, though their season-long data suggests this is highly unlikely.
Correct Score Lean
Stuttgart 2-2 Eintracht Frankfurt
This scoreline reflects the chaotic nature of Frankfurt’s matches and Stuttgart’s high shot volume. Stuttgart has the firepower to punish a Frankfurt defense that has conceded in 10 straight away games, but Stuttgart’s own fragility against the counter-attack—Frankfurt’s primary weapon—makes a clean sheet for the hosts improbable. With both teams averaging over three total goals per game and Frankfurt sitting at a massive 4.13 average, a high-scoring draw is the most logical outcome for two sides separated by just three points.
