Stuttgart and Koln are set for another Bundesliga clash this Friday. In their two meetings last season, both teams managed to score (BTTS), but Stuttgart emerged victorious in both matches. The trend suggests we can expect goals from both sides again, with Stuttgart likely to take the win. For bettors and fans, the main takeaway is to anticipate BTTS and a strong opportunity for another Stuttgart victory.

Koln lost almost half of their road clashes last season and revealed plenty of defensive weakspots in August. Stuttgart beat this opponent in both h2h games last campaign, so I feel comfortable backing them to collect three points on Friday. 

Key Stats  


  • Stuttgart have won 5 of their last 8 matches (including pre-season). 
  • Stuttgart have won 5 of their last 6 matches against Koln. 
  • Stuttgart have seen BTTS in their last 3 matches against Koln. 
  • Koln have lost 4 of their last 8 away matches (Bundesliga). 
  • Koln have seen BTTS in 14 of their last 15 matches (including pre-season). 

Koln Edge H2H 


These two clubs locked horns 108 times so far and Koln have a minimal 41-40 advantage, while 27 encounters ended without a winner. 

Hosts Warming up for the UCL Action 


The previous season was solid for Stuttgart who finished 4th in Bundesliga and advanced to the UEFA Champions League group stages, while they also reached the German Cup finals and lost to Bayern Munich 3-0.   

The Swabians cruised past Hansa Rostock 4-0 in their season-opening clash in the DFB Pokal two weeks ago, summer signing Dzenan Pejcinovic scoring a hat-trick, Tomas Tiago also on target. 

They didn't offer any resistance against the reigning champions Bayern Munich last Friday though, losing 5-1 in the Bundesliga first round. Josha Vagnoman scored a consolation goal. 

Billy Goats Had Poor Road Record Last Season 


Koln struggled in their first official appearance this season against Wurzburger Kickers in the German Cup, were behind at half-time but scored two unanswered goals to take 2-1 win. 

The Billy Goats once again had defensive problems in the Bundesliga opening round at home against Hoffenheim, conceded an early goal but once again delivered in the second half to win 3-2. Thijs Dallinga was the hero, needing just 16 minutes to net a brace (substituted in the 66th minute). 

Koln finished the previous campaign in 14th place just three points above the relegation zone, winning just two out of 17 matches on the road (19-33 goal difference). 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Stuttgart (3-4-2-1) Fabian Bredlow; Finn Jeltsch, Jeff Chabot, Ramon Hendriks; Josha Vagnoman, Grischa Promel, Angelo Stiller, Maximilian Mittelstadt; Jamie Leweling, Deniz Undav; Dzenan Pejcinovic

Dan-Axel Zagadou, Justin Diehl, and Nikolas Nartey ruled out through injury for the home side. Summer signing Dzenan Pejcinovic will likely lead the attack, Ermedin Demirovic starting on bench.

Koln (4-2-3-1) Marvin Schwabe; Alessio Castro-Montes, Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, Luka Lochoshvili, Gideon Mensah; Ellyes Skhiri, Tom Krauss; Jan Thielmann, Isak Johannesson, Said El Mala; Thijs Dallinga

Koln's defenders Timo Hubers and Sebastian Sebulonsen didn't travel to Stuttgart due to injuries, while Gian-Luca Waldschmidt is doubtful.

Verdict

BTTS has landed in both head to head clashes between Stuttgart and Koln last season, but the Swabians were the ones taking victories. I expect the same outcome on Friday.
