Faced with a team which has only two victories to its credit in its last nine championship matches, the Swabians did not need to force their talent. If the Frenchman Millot showed the way to his partners (0-1, 16th), Guirassy came to follow suit before the break (0-2, 45th+1). Returning from the locker room, Leweling finished the job (0-3, 68th) to offer the three points to Stuttgart, firmly installed in third place four points behind Bayern Munich, runner-up to Bayer Leverkusen. Opposite, Hoffenheim is sinking into crisis.
