Wolfsburg suffered their first loss of the season in Bundesliga in their last game, against Bayern Munich in Round 12, and will be hoping to recover when they host Stuttgart in Round 13. The two sides are separated on the Bundesliga standings by three points, with Wolfsburg on 21 and in fifth place while Stuttgart are seventh with 18 points. Wolfsburg failed to consolidate fourth place after their 2-1 loss to Bayern, despite having taken the lead in the game. That loss meant they don’t have a clean sheet in four straight matches, though they have scored in each of the last five and in nine of the last 10. Wolfsburg have scored two goals or more in four of their last five matches but remain the side with the least goals among the top eight teams (19). To get back to winning ways, they will and will heavily bank on their defence, having conceded 13 goals, which makes theirs the third best defence in the league. Wolfsburg have come from down in three of their last four matches. They won two of the three and drawn one, while they should feel disappointed by the result against Bayern Munich, having taken the lead and still lost. Wout Weghorst has been the team’s star performer in recent matches, with six goals in the last five matches, a run that has taken his tally to nine goals in the league so far. At home, Wolfsburg are unbeaten in their last seven matches, winning five. They have four straight wins at home, these matches have not produced a clean sheet but they have three clean sheets in the last seven home games.

Stuttgart, on their part, should have been happy with their 2-2 draw with Union Berlin, having trailed 2-0 going to the final 10 minutes. Sasa Kalajdzic rose from the bench with 10 minutes to go and four minutes later scored Stuttgart’s first and in the 89th minute netted the equalizer to aid his side secure a point from a losing position. With lead scorer Silla Wamangituka not having a good day in office, Sasa stepped up really well. Wamangituka remains a very key player, having netted five goals in the last five matches, and seven so far in the league. Stuttgart have no clean sheet in their last eight matches. They have won just two of the eight and lost one. In the league this season, they have two losses. The visitors have been impressive in attack, and are the third best scorers in the league, with 26 goals. They have scored in each of the last 10 matches and scored two or more goals in five of the last six. However, they have conceded two or more goals in four of their last six league matches. One strength Stuttgart carry to this game, is their goal scoring ability; they have scored in 12 straight league matches, and only failed to score in one of the last 16 league games. Their last six league matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they are unbeaten in seven away league matches, winning four in the process. Stuttgart have scored two or more goals in five of the last six away league matches as well. Head to head, this game has however not been favorable for the team playing away from home. There has been no away win in this fixture in the last seven meetings while each of these sides has won two in the last five meetings.
