Latest news
Stuttgart
🎙 Sebastian Hoeneß after the first round of the DFB-Pokal: "I want to congratulate Eintracht Braunschweig on a fantastic cup match-they pressed well and caused us a lot of problems. I also want to commend my team for their perseverance and resilience. Any slip-up could have knocked us out. Even though we've advanced, I'm still not satisfied with how we achieved it."
🔝 Five Stuttgart players have been called up to the German national team for World Cup qualifying matches: Alexander Nübel, Maximilian Mittelstädt, Angelo Stiller, Jamie Leweling, and Nick Woltemade.
❌ Luka Hakes has suffered a broken nose. The defender sustained the injury in the Bundesliga match against Union. A thorough examination upon returning from Berlin confirmed the fracture. Leonidas Stergiou is regaining fitness after foot surgery, while Silas is recovering from an ankle injury.
Borussia M'gladbach
🎙 Head coach Gerardo Seoane's reaction to the first match: "As athletes, we're very result-oriented, so we can't be entirely satisfied with a 0-0 scoreline. However, there were many positives. We played with discipline and controlled much of the game. Even while dominating, we kept our defense tight, pulled players back, and frequently regained possession through counter-pressing. Yet, against such a compact opponent, it was challenging to find space in the final third and exploit it with the necessary quality, precision, and timing. That's exactly what we were missing."
📝 Gladbach have strengthened their midfield by signing Giovanni Reyna from Borussia Dortmund. The 22-year-old has penned a contract until June 30, 2028. Roland Virkus, Borussia Mönchengladbach's sporting director, stated: "Gio brings a wealth of experience, and he's a young player with great potential. We've been monitoring him for some time and are convinced he has the qualities we need for success on the pitch. He's familiar with the Bundesliga and can play in various attacking roles."
❌ Absent from the squad for the first match were Niklas Swider (illness), Wael Moukha (partial tear of the medial collateral ligament), Tim Kleindienst (knee), and Nathan Ngoumou (Achilles). Julian Weigl was not included as he has been allowed to negotiate with another club.
🟨 Referee and Cards
Sven Jablonski has been appointed as the chief referee for the match at the MHP Arena. On average, he hands out 3.6 yellow cards per game over his last 10 matches. In head-to-head encounters between these teams, the average total of warnings is 3.8, with Stuttgart slightly ahead-2 compared to Gladbach's 1.8. We suggest a bet on total yellow cards over 3.5, which hit in both fixtures last season.
⚽ Goal Prediction
In addition to frequently surpassing the total of over 2.5 goals in their clashes (in the last 7 consecutive matches), both teams have scored against each other in 10 of their last 11 meetings. Therefore, we recommend a bet on both teams to score (yes).
🚩 Corner Prediction
The average number of corners in matches between these clubs stands at 8.5, with Stuttgart slightly trailing-averaging 3.9 corners compared to Gladbach's 4.6. Given these stats, a bet on total corners under 11.5 seems reasonable, as it has won in 6 of Stuttgart's last 7 home games.
Editor's Prediction
Stuttgart and Borussia Mönchengladbach have been showcasing high-scoring performances both in their head-to-head clashes and recent matches. Notably, in eight of Stuttgart's last nine Bundesliga home games, the total goals exceeded 2.5. Given both teams' attacking style, their eagerness to rectify early-season mistakes, and their tendency to score in direct encounters, a high-scoring affair seems likely. Our prediction: over 2.5 goals. Possible scoreline - 2-1.
