Yet another exciting fixture in the Bundesliga. VfB Stuttgart is in the 12th place after participating in two fixtures. They receive SC Freiburg who are placed 5th after two fixtures.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
VfB Stuttgart form and stats
The first Bundesliga game here at Mercedes-Benz-Arena resulted in a draw. Last season VfB Stuttgart's home game statistics were 6 victories, 4 draws and 7 defeats from 17 games.
The home team returns to Mercedes-Benz-Arena after drawing with Werder Bremen (placed 10th) on their last time out; the game ended 2-2. The striker Kalajdžić was announced as "man of the match" for VfB Stuttgart with the rating of 7.23/10. Kalajdžić signed up for two assists and hit two key passes.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus RB Leipzig.This is expected to be a close game, with Stuttgart perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with VfB Stuttgart as a small favourite), we find 8 games. VfB Stuttgart has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.
At Mercedes-Benz-Arena, VfB Stuttgart has the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

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, 5 draws and 5 defeats from 17 matches.
SC Freiburg might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match.
