Stuttgart comes into this encounter on the heels of a victory over Kaiserslautern in the DFB-Pokal, which they won 2-1. In that match, Stuttgart had 69% possession of the ball and recorded 17 shots, with 7 of those shots finding the target. Both Nick Woltemade (in the 14th minute) and Chris Fuhrich (in the 76th minute) scored goals in that match. Despite the fact that they are capable of scoring goals, Stuttgart has played six matches in which they have allowed seven goals while only scoring five goals themselves.
In their most recent two league matches played away from home, Stuttgart has not been able to secure a victory. This is a negative trend for the team.
