Three and easy
A comfortable, impressive derby win for Stuttgart, who underline their Champions League credentials in some style. It was clear almost from start to finish who the winner of this game would be.

Club record
Stuttgart have 56 points after 26 games (barring a miraculous collapse in these three minutes of stoppage time). That is a new club record for this stage of a season. Do not forget, it is 11 years since Stuttgart won in Sinsheim.
89'
Stuttgart's streak
This win would extend Stuttgart's unbeaten streak to eight games (seven wins, one draw), which is their best run of results in six years. That is most certainly UEFA Champions League form from the Swabians.
86'
Record win?
This is currently Stuttgart's biggest ever win at Hoffenheim, where they had previously only ever won by a single-goal margin.
82'
Beier bundled
Beier tries to get to a low cross, but he is bundled over by a strong - and fair - tackle from Anton. Two players who had injury scares today hit the deck, and they both lift themselves up.
75'
Crossbar!
Kramarić hits the crossbar, but it may well have been ruled out for offside anyway. It's been that kind of a night for Hoffenheim.
69'
Too much for Hoffenheim
Baumann denies Guirassy with his umpteenth save of the night, but the consequent corner leads to Leweling adding a third with a sweeping diagonal volley, zipping into the far corner off the slick surface.
66'
Cute combinations
Some of this football from Stuttgart really is impressive. Another neat exchange of passes and the cutest of backheels from Guirassy tees up Millot, who's shot is turned over.
63'
Undav eyeing a goal
He has provided two assists, taking him to six for the season, but he fancies a goal too. Baumann denies him what would be a 15th of the season.

Anton agony
Anton is receiving treatment, but he appears to have pulled his hamstring and his evening could well be over.

No let-up
The first big chance of the second half is also for Stuttgart, with Führich testing Baumann. It has been a very busy night so far for the Hoffenheim goalkeeper, and there is a lot of it left too.
46'
Change for the hosts
Just one change for Hoffenheim, a defensive shake-up for the hosts, who need to get on the front foot in this second half, if they are to avoid derby defeat.

Stuttgart in command
The half-time whistle brings an end to a half of sufferance for Hoffenheim, with Stuttgart showing such a high level of confidence to take a comfortable lead into the break with them.

Sucker punch!
Just as Hoffenheim were beginning to get their foot on the ball, Stuttgart snatch it and, within seconds, the ball is in the back of Baumann's goal again. A 22nd of the season for Guirassy, who fires into the left corner!

Beier blow
Maximilian Beier requires treatment. He walks off a bit gingerly and hopes to return, and link up with the Germany squad for the first time next week.

It keeps coming
Yet another chance for Stuttgart with Guirassy's low shot going within inches of the left-hand post.

Deserved lead
Stuttgart's pressure has paid off! Millot provides the one-touch finish from seven yards out, but it was a fine succession of passes which carved the Hoffenheim defence open. Classy stuff from Stuttgart!

Defensive wobble
Stuttgart continue to apply the pressure and a mistake in defence leads to Millot's shot, which is turned behind for a corner.

Undav again
The second chance of the game and this is a lot closer from Undav, just missing the right-hand post by a foot. Will it be a case of third time lucky for the German forward?
1'
Undav's intentions clear
It took just 15 seconds for Undav to send in the first shot of the game, showing his intentions and motivation after being called up to the Germany squad. He needs to work on his accuracy, though, with the fans behind the goal in more danger than Hoffenheim goalkeeper Baumann.

The stakes
With Augsburg winning earlier, Hoffenheim have slipped down to eighth and need three points to return above the Swabians, while Stuttgart have Leipzig breathing down their necks after their win in Cologne last night, so a derby win would consolidate their charge for Champions League football next season.
Half-century Guirassy
Serhou Guirassy is making his 50th appearance for Stuttgart, in all competitions. How many goals has he scored in his 49 games so far? A whopping 37, 32 of which have come in the Bundesliga.

A familar face
Hoffenheim's Pellegrino Matarazzo spent 1,000 days in charge of Stuttgart between 30 December 2019 and 10 October 2022, overseeing 100 competitive games. It was the longest reign of any VfB coach since Armin Veh's title-winning tenure (10 February 2006 - 23 November 2008). The game will be current incumbent Hoeneß's 42nd in all competitions.
