Stuttgart will host Wolfsburg at MHP Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side are enjoying a remarkable run of form at the moment and are making an early push for continental football. They beat Koln 2-0 in their last match, with Brighton & Hove Albion loanee Denis Undav coming off the bench to score a brace and open his account for the club this season.
Stuttgart sit second in the Bundesliga table with 15 points from an obtainable 18. They are just one point above Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the pile and can leapfrog them with a win on Saturday.
Wolfsburg have had mixed results this season but remain in contention for continental football as they round up the first quarter of the league campaign. They beat 10-man Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 in their last game, with Jonas Wind scoring a goal in either half to hand Die Wolfe maximum points and take his league tally for the season to seven.
The visitors sit seventh in the league standings with 12 points from seven games and will be hopeful of adding to that tally this weekend.
