Stuttgart vs Wolfsburg Prediction 1 March 2026
🔊 The first match on Sunday of the 24th Bundesliga round will take place at the "MHP Arena", where Stuttgart face off against the beleaguered Wolfsburg. The hosts are unbeaten in their last 10 league matches, which gives them a solid chance of securing a spot in the Champions League. The visitors, on the other hand, have only picked up two points in the second half of the season, with their total of 20 being the lowest in the top division during this stretch. Another defeat could see the "Wolves" drop into the relegation zone.
Head-to-Head
📊 At the start of the season, Stuttgart convincingly defeated Wolfsburg with a 3-0 victory. However, last season they lost at home 2-1 and managed a 2-2 draw away.
Head-to-head statistics Stuttgart - Wolfsburg
Stuttgart Team Overview
⚪ Last weekend, the Swabians traveled to Heidenheim, where they managed to secure a point in a thrilling and high-scoring encounter (3-3). Chris Führich, Maximilian Mittelstädt, and Deniz Undav were on the scoresheet. Ahead of the 24th round, Stuttgart sit fourth in the table, trailing Hoffenheim by three points and leading RB Leipzig by two.
🔴 This season, the Swabians have collected 26 out of a possible 33 points at home. The team excels in closing out matches: six of their eight home victories have come thanks to goals in the final 15 minutes, including in their last five games. Sebastian Hoeneß will oversee his 100th Bundesliga match at the helm of Stuttgart, becoming only the sixth manager in the club's history to reach this milestone.
🏆 Additionally, the team secured a spot in the Europa League Round of 16 by defeating Celtic on aggregate in the playoffs. Despite a second-leg loss (0-1), an aggregate score of 4-2 saw the Swabians advance. Stuttgart reached the Round of 16 in a European competition for the first time in 13 years, marking a significant achievement for the club. In the next round, they will face either Porto or Braga.

Wolfsburg Team Overview
🟢 Last Saturday, Wolfsburg twice took the lead but eventually suffered another home defeat to Augsburg (2-3). Yannick Gerhardt opened the scoring, and then Kento Shiogai put the Wolves ahead again, but the team conceded twice late on. Wolfsburg sit 15th with 20 points, only ahead of St. Pauli on goal difference. Daniel Bauer's side haven't won since January 14, recording two draws and four losses since then.
⚪ The Wolves have never conceded this many goals before-49 goals in 23 matches. This is the second-worst record in the league after Heidenheim (51). Even when the attack delivers, the defense lets them down: against Augsburg, Wolfsburg squandered a victory for the ninth time this season-a Bundesliga anti-record.
🐺 No team in the Bundesliga has conceded more goals in the final 15 minutes of matches this season than Wolfsburg (15). Meanwhile, Stuttgart have scored 15 goals in that period, second only to Bayern Munich (25).

Latest news
Stuttgart
🎙️ Sebastian Hoeneß after advancing to the Europa League Round of 16: "It couldn't have been worse - it's always tough to come back after conceding a goal in the 30th second. We could have achieved more, but the result doesn't quite reflect what happened on the pitch. We need to be more composed in the penalty area. Ultimately, we wanted to advance - and we succeeded. Mission accomplished."

Wolfsburg
🎙️ Christian Eriksen on the team's current situation: "Right now, everything seems to be going against us. However, in football, things can change quickly. We must recognize that every point is hard-earned-there are no easy wins. But we still have opportunities. It's crucial to maintain confidence because nothing is decided yet. We need to pick up points and win matches. In recent games, there have been periods where we looked very good and controlled the game, but then we lost focus, and the opposition took advantage. We're conceding too many easy goals. We need to stay focused throughout the entire match and eliminate individual mistakes. If we do that, we'll have enough chances to get the results we want."
❌ The team's results have largely deteriorated due to a significant number of injuries: Clayton, Jesper Lindstrøm, Maximilian Arnold, Kilian Fischer, Bence Dardai, Joakim Mæhle, Rogerio, Jens Stryger Larsen, Patrick Wimmer, and Jonas Wind are all sidelined.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Patrick Ittrich is set to officiate the match at "MHP Arena". In his last 10 matches, he has averaged 3.6 yellow cards per game. This season, players from both teams have been receiving around two yellow cards per match on average. Considering these trends, a bet on over 3.5 yellow cards seems reasonable: it has hit in 7 of Stuttgart's last 8 games and in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head encounters.
⚽ Goal Prediction
The "Swabians" are formidable at home, while Wolfsburg have one of the poorest defensive records. Matches involving both clubs often turn out to be high-scoring, making a bet on over 2.5 goals a sensible choice. This bet has come through in the last five consecutive head-to-head meetings.
🚩 Corner Prediction
On average, the "Swabians" take 5.3 corners per match, whereas the "Wolves" average 3.7. The hosts are expected to dominate possession and dictate the play for most of the game. Based on this, a bet on Wolfsburg's individual total under 3.5 corners is worth considering-it has been successful in 7 of their last 8 away matches.
Editor's Prediction
Stuttgart dropped points in the last round and fell to Celtic in European competition, making it crucial for them to quickly regain confidence and a winning rhythm to maintain their spot in the Champions League zone.
Against this backdrop, the hosts emerge as clear favorites. They should overcome a Wolfsburg side weakened by personnel issues and struggling with results. Our prediction is a Stuttgart victory. A convincing scoreline like 3-0 is also possible.
