Here's another appealing fixture in the Bundesliga. VfB Stuttgart is in the 8th place after featuring in two games. They host SC Freiburg who are placed 4th after two fixtures.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
VfB Stuttgart form and stats
The hosts won their first Bundesliga game here at Mercedes-Benz Arena, lifting spirits. Home statistics for VfB Stuttgart last season were 5 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses from 17 games.
No payout for VfB Stuttgart in their previous match, an away game at RB Leipzig that ended in defeat 1-5. As you see from the result above, Stuttgart suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Nübel had a busy but productive day in the RB Leipzig match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Midfielder Karazor was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.11 (out of ten) in that game. Karazor served one assist, hit one key pass and had 29 successful passes (of 34 total).
Before that game, the 5-0 home victory against Bochum.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how VfB Stuttgart have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 3 and lost 5.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the VfB Stuttgart at home in the league. 5 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
SC Freiburg form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Bundesliga, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 7 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats from 17 matches.
Impressive finishing from Philipp secured the home win 1-0 against Werder Bremen in their previous game. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Streich when Philipp scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 61st minute. Kübler, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.8. Kübler won 6 of 12 duels.
Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at TSG Hoffenheim.We have checked recent matches where SC Freiburg have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 10 games were 5 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
It's early days yet, but SC Freiburg has scored 2 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
