Stuttgart — Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction, H2H and Probable Lineups — 13 January 2026
On January 13, 2026, in Matchday 17 of the Bundesliga, Stuttgart will host Eintracht Frankfurt. The match is scheduled to kick off at 18:30 Central European Time. Let’s take a closer look at the potential outcome of this clash.
Stuttgart
Stuttgart started the new year in excellent fashion, securing an impressive 4–1 away win over Bayer Leverkusen. This victory was their third in the last four matches across all competitions and extended their unbeaten run to four games. With this result, Stuttgart moved up to 29 points, level with RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen, with the three sides occupying positions from third to fifth in the table.
Stuttgart have also been very strong at home. They rank fifth in the Bundesliga by home form and have lost just once at home in all competitions this season — a defeat against Bayern Munich. Alongside that, they have recorded one draw and won all their other home matches.
Beyond the league, Stuttgart are enjoying a successful campaign in Europe. They sit ninth in the Europa League standings with 12 points after six matches, putting them in a strong position to reach the playoffs. In the DFB-Pokal, Stuttgart have reached the quarter-finals after defeating Bochum in the Round of 16 and will face Holstein Kiel next.
However, head-to-head history at home against Eintracht Frankfurt has been problematic. In their last seven home meetings with Frankfurt, Stuttgart have managed just one win and one draw, suffering five defeats.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt drew their most recent match at home against Borussia Dortmund, 3–3. That result extended their unbeaten Bundesliga run to three matches, following a draw with Hamburg and a win over Augsburg. Frankfurt currently sit 7th in the table with 26 points, just three points behind Stuttgart.
Defensive issues remain a major concern. Eintracht have scored 33 goals but conceded the same number — one of the weakest defensive records in the league, with only Heidenheim allowing more. Overall form across all competitions has also been inconsistent: in their last seven matches, Frankfurt have recorded just one win, alongside three draws and three defeats.
In the Champions League, Eintracht have struggled and currently sit 30th in the standings. With matches against Qarabag and Tottenham still to come, their chances of reaching the playoff stage remain minimal.
