Wolfsburg vs Stuttgart Prediction 18 October 2025
🔊 Whose streak will come to an end at the upcoming game at the Volkswagen Arena: Wolfsburg, who have lost their last three matches, or Stuttgart, who are riding a winning streak? Despite the Wolves going five games without a win, they don't appear to be clear underdogs on their home turf. The visitors will aim to build on their success and solidify their spot in the top four. The Swabians haven't drawn a single match this season, but a stalemate seems quite possible in this encounter-just like it was here last year. Let's move on to the prediction.
Head-to-Head
📊 In their last 35 encounters, Wolfsburg have emerged victorious 18 times. Stuttgart have claimed 11 wins, while six matches ended in a draw. One of those draws occurred in the first round of last season at the Volkswagen Arena (2-2). The return fixture in Stuttgart saw Wolfsburg clinch a 2-1 victory.
Head-to-head statistics Wolfsburg - Stuttgart
Wolfsburg Team Overview
🟢 Under Paul Simonis, the "Wolves" kicked off the season with promise, securing one win and two draws. However, they quickly lost momentum. Defeats against Borussia Dortmund (0-1) and RB Leipzig (0-1) were followed by a setback against Augsburg (1-3). The team's sole goal in these three matches came from newcomer, young Danish forward Adam Dagim, making his first start against Augsburg.
⚪ Wolfsburg have collected just five points, placing them 16th - marking the club's third-worst start in Bundesliga history. The absence of key players is evident, but it's no excuse for a team aiming for European competition spots. The coaching staff now needs to focus on steering clear of the relegation zone. This will be challenging, despite home support: Wolfsburg haven't won a home Bundesliga match in 11 attempts, with their last victory dating back to January 14. Nevertheless, it can't be said that the "Wolves" look lackluster on their own turf. They've created at least 18 scoring chances this season - only Bayern Munich (33) and Bayer Leverkusen (21) have more. However, their conversion rate leaves much to be desired, with only 22% of chances resulting in goals - slightly less than Stuttgart's 23%.

Stuttgart Team Overview
⚪ Unlike their rivals, Sebastian Hoeness's squad are faring much better in the league. In their last match before the international break, the Swabians managed to edge past Heidenheim with a 1-0 victory, thanks to a precise strike from Bilal El Khannous, on loan from Leicester. This win marked their third consecutive triumph in the league. Stuttgart have now amassed 12 points from six matches, placing them fourth. The team only had more points at this stage in the 2023/24 season when they finished second.
🔴 Hoeness's side face a challenging period ahead: the Swabians are set to play seven matches by November 9, effectively competing twice a week. The coaching staff will need to rotate the squad despite lacking the depth of top-tier clubs, but this is unlikely to deter the team from pursuing a fourth straight win and solidifying their position in the Champions League spots.

Latest news
Wolfsburg
🎙️ Paul Simonis, reflecting on the defeat to Augsburg, remarked: "Augsburg fully deserved the win. I think this was our worst match so far. I had the feeling that we were on the right track because overall we played well, except for the second half against Mainz. But today, there was only one team on the field that truly wanted to win, and that was Augsburg."
❌ Maximilian Arnold sustained a minor injury during a friendly against Hertha over the international break. The captain felt pain in the back of his thigh after taking a corner and was substituted. An examination revealed a slight muscle strain, so Arnold will need to take it easy in the coming days. It's unclear when he'll be back in action. Denis Vavro, Rogerio, Jesper Lindstrom, and Kevin Paredes remain sidelined.
Stuttgart
🎙️ Sebastian Hoeneß, ahead of the match, stated: "We aim to build on our good form following the international break and maintain this momentum. We have strategies in place for the game against Wolfsburg, but we'll also make the most of the remaining training sessions. Wolfsburg possess great potential and a strong squad. They create numerous chances, and their results don't truly reflect their capabilities. We won't be misled by their current league position."
❌ Deniz Undav is set to return to the squad after recovering from a medial collateral ligament tear in his knee. Finn Ole Becker is also ready to take the field following an adductor muscle injury. Jamie Leweling will miss the match due to adductor issues, while the participation of Ermedin Demirović and Stefan Drljača remains uncertain. Defender Dan-Axel Zagadou is expected to gain match practice with the U21 team in the Third League.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the match is Florian Badstübner. He has officiated only one Bundesliga game this season so far, the opening round clash between Bayern and Leipzig, where he issued five cautions. Over his last ten matches, he averages four yellow cards per game. The average number of yellow cards in head-to-head encounters between Wolfsburg and Stuttgart stands at 3.78. Therefore, we suggest betting on over 3.5 yellow cards, a bet that has come through in the last four meetings between these teams.
⚽ Goal Predictions
Despite Wolfsburg's tough run, they have managed to score three goals in two separate matches. Stuttgart, on the other hand, have not scored more than twice in any of their six games, despite their successful streak. A reasonable bet here is both teams to score (yes): this has happened in all three of Stuttgart's away games this season and in the last four head-to-heads with Wolfsburg.
🚩 Corner Predictions
The hosts average 4.8 corners per match, while the visitors average 6.5. We recommend betting on Wolfsburg's individual total under 5.5 corners-this bet has hit in six of the last seven Bundesliga encounters between these teams.
Editor's Prediction
This match promises to be closely contested, despite the current standings of the opponents. Wolfsburg, despite their struggles with finishing, have the capability to find the back of the net against the Swabians, who have conceded in every away game this season. However, the Wolves have yet to keep a clean sheet in this championship as well. Therefore, we anticipate a high-scoring affair on both ends and consider a draw a reasonable outcome, much like last season's 2-2 result here. Nonetheless, given the current form of both sides, there is little doubt that Paul Simonius's team will break their winless streak. Match prediction: Stuttgart will not lose.
