An inconsistent Stuttgart return to Bundesliga action when they host FC Heidenheim at MHPArena on Friday night.

VfB Stuttgart vs FC Heidenheim Betting Tips - Over 2.5 Goals

A high-scoring outcome seems likely when Stuttgart take on Heidenheim in the first Bundesliga fixture of the weekend. 

The hosts come into Friday's match looking to avoid a remarkable sixth successive home Bundesliga reversal. While tough-to-beat on their travels, Die Schwaben have lost each of their last five games at MHP Arena. Before their alarming dip in home form, Sebastian Hoeneß's side had lost only three of 30 previous Bundesligs fixtures at MHP Arena.

Defensive frailties have proven the biggest issue for VFB this season. Stuttgart leaked 13 goals in their five recent home reversals, with all five games seeing BTTS and a minimum of three goals scored. 

Goals are usually to be expected at this venue with only one of nine previous Bundesliga matches at MHPArena seeing fewer than three goals scored. 

Die Schwaben now sit 11th in the table, six points off the European places, following another high-scoring thriller – a wild 4-4 draw against Union Berlin last weekend.

Heidenheim returns to action still fighting for their Bundesliga future. With just four games remaining in the campaign, Frank Schmidt's side find themselves in the relegation playoff position, and only three points above bottom-of-the-table Holstein Kiel. 

While the visitors' goal numbers are not quite as consistent, six of their last ten road fixtures saw over 2.5 goals scored. Considering Stuttgart's current form, we have to expect something similar again on Friday.

I'm putting my stake on a minimum of three goals scored at MHPArena.
