Bundesliga Matchday 34 Betting Predictions – VfB Stuttgart
Stuttgart has not picked up a league-win for nearly two months to leave its Bundesliga fate beyond its own hands, even if it earns a victory in the final fixture of the season.
As Stuttgart desperately needs to win this match, Pellegrino Matarazzo will possibly line his team in a fairly attack-minded 3-4-3 system that should also lend a good balance to the side. Florian Müller is the first-choice goalkeeper of the side with Waldemar Anton, Hiroki Ito and Konstantinos Mavropanos as the central-defensive trio. Stuttgart has the 3rd weakest defensive-record on home-turf this season.
Atakan Karazor and Wataru Endo will be the two holding-midfielders sitting in front of the backline. Pascal Stenzel is not expected to play any part in this clash so Christian Führich will continue as the wing-back on the right-flank with Borna Sosa on the left-side. Sasa Kalajdzic seems doubtful therefore Philipp Förster may be the centre-forward with Omar Marmoush and Tiago Tomás as the supporting-strikers behind him.

Bundesliga Matchday 34 Betting Predictions – FC Köln
Having produced a 4-game winning-streak in the month of April, Köln fell to a surprise home-defeat last week that may well have put a top-6 finish out of reach.
With no major injury-issues to deal with at the moment, Steffen Baumgart will probably set out his side in a 4-1-3-2 formation for the last game of the season. Marvin Schwäbe will take his place in goal with Luca Kilian and Timo Hübers as the centre-back pairing. Benno Schmitz has done a fine job this season on the right-side of the backline while skipper Jonas Hector will start in the left-back position.
In the middle of the park, Ellyes Skhiri will be the anchorman of the team in a deep-lying role in front of the backline with Florian Kainz and Salih Özcan being the two central-midfielders placed on either side of him. Meanwhile, Mark Uth is going to start in the no.10 role while Jan Thielmann and fan-favourite Anthon Modeste will combine to form the centre-forward up front.
