Stuttgart - FC Koln Prediction, Picks and Taips
The Bundesliga weekend will be opened on Friday evening by VfB Stuttgart and 1. FC Köln. Stuttgart has started the season well, something that does not apply to Köln, which has been waiting for a league victory for quite some time.
After a short absence, VfB Stuttgart is back this season at the highest German level, where it naturally belongs in terms of name and history. The Swabians have few adjustment problems in the first weeks of the season. After four duels, the counter for Stuttgart is already at seven points. Last weekend, the team of trainer Pellegrino Matarazzo returned with the full booty from Berlin. On a visit to Hertha BSC, Stuttgart did not play a great game, but since the home team also did not make much of it, they could still achieve a victory (0-2).
Stuttgart may currently call itself a sub-topper, but Matarazzo guarded this week's press conference against too much optimism. "The ranking is just a snapshot," said the coach. 'We are not yet concerned with that, this early in the season.' The coach does not have to deal with an overcrowded infirmary before Friday. There is a question mark behind the name of goalkeeper Gregor Kobel. The goalkeeper came over from TSG Hoffenheim this summer and is still making a good impression. His failure to play would definitely be a setback for Stuttgart.
For 1. FC Köln, the new season started the way it closed the previous one: with disappointing results. Only last weekend, in the fourth round, Köln managed to get his first run of the season. The home game against Eintracht Frankfurt ended in a 1-1 draw. After falling behind, the Domstedelingen had to work hard for a point, with which the team of trainer Markus Gisdol did not even make much progress. Including the previous season, Köln is already fourteen Bundesliga matches without a win in a row.
"The euphoria of a PhD student reigns at Stuttgart," Gisdol said this week about his team's upcoming opponent. 'They play, with their young team, very carefree and they are dangerous. But we also see our opportunities. ' Gisdol is tempted, given the bad results of late, to change things in his starting elf. The options for this are available. Christian Clemens and Jan Thielmann, for example, will be available again on Friday after injuries. Jonas Hector is missing on the Köln side.
