Key Highlights

VfB Looking to Making it Five Consecutive Wins in the Bundesliga

Stuttgart have won their last four consecutive matches in the Bundesliga as they have staked a claim for a top-four finish this season and a Champions League berth.

Their impressive form has seen them beat RB Leipzig (5-2) at home, SC Freiburg (1-3) away, Mainz (3-1) at home, and Darmstadt (1-2) away from home.

In this run, they have scored 13 goals and conceded five times. The status highlights their exciting and attacking edge, which has carried them to within four points of second-placed Bayern Munich and five points ahead of fourth-placed Dortmund.

1. FC Köln Looking to Return to Winning Ways and Avoid Falling into the Relegation Zone

Koln’s form is at the opposite end of that of Stuttgart. They have won once in their last five outings in the Bundesliga, drawing twice and losing twice in the process.

This run reflects their overall season, which has seen them win three times and draw in seven matches out of their 22 outings.

Their 16-point tally is good enough for 16th place on the table, one point off the drop zone. They need to start winning to avoid dropping into the relegation zone.
