The team of Pellegrino Matarazzo did not want to fall behind again as in the three games before and immediately accelerated in the capital. In the 8th minute Kalajdzic headed to the post, before Kempf scored better a few seconds later and headed 1-0 for the VfB (9th). The Old Lady was offensively far too harmless and came to possibilities more by two coincidences. After Wamangituka’s mistake, Cordoba missed (32nd) and Stuttgart-Keeper Kobel was just able to prevent Mangala’s own goal (40th). In the second half Kalajdzic gave up the huge chance to score 2-0 (47th). As a result, the home owners got better and pressed for compensation – Cordoba (53rd), Cunha (53rd, 66th), Boyata (58th) and Tousart (63rd). On the other hand, the climber proved to be more efficient and scored 2-0 (68th) through Castro. So the game was decided.
The Matarazzo team scored seven points in the last three Bundesliga matches. In Mainz (4:1) and Berlin (2:0) and at home against Leverkusen (1:1). Only the opening match of the new season in the Mercedes-Benz arena was lost to SC Freiburg (2-3). This means that the Swabians are still without victory in their own stadium during this season. The promoter has already hit the black nine times. Only Bavaria Munich and RB Leipzig networked more frequently.
Borna Sosa, Darko Churlinov, Roberto Massimo, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Erik Thommy, Maxime Awoudja, Philipp Förster and Clinton Mola are out of action against Cologne due to injury.

The Domstädter had the aftermath in their home game against Frankfurt in the first half. Despite the superiority of the Hesse, the guests could not make much of it at first. Only Silva had two degrees from afar (6th, 29th). The Rhinelanders just watched and were not in the game at all. In the replay time of the first 45 minutes, the SGE then went through a converted foul meter from Silva to front (45th +2). After the break tea it continued as in the first round – Kamada did not take advantage of the good opportunity to score 2:0 (50th). That should get revenge shortly afterwards. The team of Markus Gisdol came completely surprisingly to the 1:1 by Duda (52nd). Now the FC was full and had almost turned the game – Trapp saved strongly against Duda (63rd). A game developed with chances of victory on both sides in the final phase. Nevertheless, it remained at 1:1.
The Gisdol elf is still winless this season and has lost the first three games. At home there were two bankruptcies against Hoffenheim (2:3) and Gladbach (1:3). Arminia Bielefeld also scored no points on the second day of the match (0:1). After all, last weekend’s points split against Frankfurt stopped the defeat series. Across the season, the goats have not won since 13 league games (eight defeats).
Florian Kainz and Jonas Hector are injured and will not be part of the game in Swabia.

Due to the home advantage we see VfB Stuttgart against FC Köln in the favourite role. Nevertheless, an easy game for the Swabians is not necessarily to be expected. The promoter has not yet been able to win in the first two home games and scored six of the seven points in the foreign competition. The cathedral townspeople are in a real crisis that continues into the new season. The club has not won since 13 league games. A little self-confidence could have been gained by winning points against the Eintracht after the Rhinelanders lost the first three seasonal games. We anticipate a close duel in the Mercedes-Benz Arena and believe that the opponents will separate with a goal-rich draw. In our opinion, the best bets for this Bundesliga tip forecast are the goal bets on the market „Both teams hit? YES“, where betting odds wave around 1.50 on average.
