Next Saturday at 3:30pm GMT, on matchday 32 of the Bundesliga, we will see Stuttgart play Wolfsburg at the Mercedes Benz Arena.

Stuttgart, currently sitting sixteenth, host eleventh placed Wolfsburg on Saturday.

This season’s Bundesliga campaign, has so far seen Stuttgart achieve 28 points

Stuttgart will be keen to retain their winning form, having beaten Hertha 2-0 in their last match.

Also, league success is all about winning football matches, any way you can, so nine losses in 16 games would not make this a successful season for Stuttgart. Their position is sixteenth in the League and they have 28 points, that is, 6W, 15L and 11D having won six games, drawn 11 fixtures, and lost 15 meetings.

When Stuttgart host Wolfsburg, they will do so on the back of five wins, three draws, and seven defeats on their own ground.

Stuttgart will have 31 points if they manage to secure a victory.

Stuttgart’s squad will likely be depleted of five of their key players when they start on Saturday, due to injury or illness.

Wolfsburg arrive at this game, having secured 37 points so far this season

With two wins in a row under his belt, Florian Kohfeldt takes his Wolfsburg team into this game full of confidence, and hopeful of another successive victory.

Also, Florian Kohfeldt knows that a run of 12 losses in 19 meetings for his Wolfsburg side, is going to be a tough run of form to change. However that is exactly what he must try to deliver. With 37 points (11W, 16L and 5D), they are established in eleventh position in the League having won 11 fixtures, drawn five matches, and lost 16 matches.

Wolfsburg’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to Stuttgart. In the 15 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won four meetings, drawn two games, and lost nine matches.

Winning this fixture will see Wolfsburg on 40 points.

Wolfsburg’s ever growing list of players missing due to injury or illness to be a concern for Florian Kohfeldt, ahead of this Saturday’s fixture against their opponents.
