VfB Stuttgart will be back at home to host newly promoted Darmstadt in their next Bundesliga game. These two are having contrasting starts to the season, with Stuttgart fourth and Darmstadt 17th in the Bundesliga standings. Stuttgart have recovered well from the heavy loss to RB Leipzig, and are coming here on two straight wins. In the most recent outing, they beat Mainz 3-1. That was the fourth time in five matches that they scored at least three goals. In three of the five matches, they have clean sheets. This season so far, Stuttgart have scored 18 times across all competitions. They are the highest scorers in the Bundesliga with 14 goals in four matches. For a team that had to go through the playoffs last season to stay up, they are doing really well. Sehrou Guirassy has been key to this form, with eight goals in four matches.

Darmstadt are having it tough on their return to the Bundesliga. Runners up in the second tier last term, Darmstadt jointly had the most wins and tied winners Heidenheim on points. However, things haven't picked up yet this season. They find themselves among the six sides yet to win in the league after four rounds. Darmstadt have one point so far and have also been eliminated from the DFB Pokal. After failing to score in their opening two games of the season, there has been improvement in the last three. Darmstadt are coming from a 3-3 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach but will feel they deserved more from the game. They led 3-0 before crumbling in the second half, when they also had Matej Maglica sent off. Four times in five matches, Darmstadt have conceded three or more goals.
