Lemgo secured a narrow 30-27 victory over TV Stuttgart in the German Bundesliga on Sunday afternoon. The away side completed their sixth match of the season with a hard-fought win that kept them unbeaten so far. Stuttgart, sitting eighth in the table, suffered just their first defeat after three wins and two draws.
The result maintains Lemgo's perfect record without a loss, though they remain in 11th place with six points. Stuttgart now sit two points clear with seven points after their sole defeat of the campaign. Neither side could claim dominance throughout the contest.
Our prediction called for the visitors to come out on top, and that assessment proved correct. The 53 per cent confidence we placed on Lemgo materialised, though the margin was tighter than expected. The away side showed enough composure to hold their nerve in what was a closely fought affair.
Stuttgart's recent form had been mixed, with victories against Eisenach and Balingen-Weilstetten bookended by defeats to Erlangen and Melsungen. Lemgo arrived with a strong run, including a 34-30 win over Hamburg in their most recent outing. Both teams brought momentum into this encounter.
The final scoreline of 30-27 suggests a contest decided by fine margins. Lemgo's unbeaten run continues at six games, while Stuttgart will look to bounce back from their first loss. The result leaves both sides separated by just one point in the standings.
