Stuttgart form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Stuttgart so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 3-5-6 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Stuttgart's last three away games as they have all been lost.
The supporters enjoyed Stuttgart's previous game versus Hamburger SV (placed 3rd), a 2. Bundesliga 3-2 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Holstein Kiel wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.
An amazing comeback from Stuttgart last time out, trailing 0-2 before rallying an inspired fight which eventually led to Gonzalo Castro scoring the winning goal in the 90th minute. Gonzalo Castro came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Hamburger SV last time out, making the manager P. Matarazzo feel like a tactical genius. The end of the last match, against Hamburger SV, was very satisfying as Gonzalo Castro scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Stuttgart have scored 17 goals in 14 league games away. In the opposite end, Stuttgart have conceded 24 goals in their away games.
