Stuttgart finished fourth in the Bundesliga last season. However, they suffered a heavy away defeat to Bayern Munich in the first round of the new season. Now, they desperately need to turn things around at home. Stuttgart has a strong home record, with a well - established offensive system and a potent attacking line that can create numerous opportunities. Nevertheless, they are currently hit by a serious injury crisis. The absence of the goalkeeper, center - backs, and several substitute attackers has weakened their defensive rotation and cast doubt on their defensive stability. Historically, Stuttgart has a clear edge over Cologne, remaining undefeated in many past encounters, which gives them a psychological advantage. On the other hand, Cologne started the new season on a high note, defeating Hoffenheim 3 - 2 at home in the first round. They are highly motivated and have a clear goal of avoiding relegation. They are good at sitting deep and launching counter - attacks. But Cologne

Yet, the fragility of their away defensive system has become a limiting factor. On the other hand, Cologne presents a sharp contrast between home and away performances. In the last Bundesliga game, they defeated Hoffenheim 3 - 2 at home, and the 6 - 7 corner - kick ratio demonstrat

The Cluj team typically deploys a well - established 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 formation to build a possession - based and pressure - exerting system.
