Freiburg
Win Probability: 25%VfB Stuttgart
Win Probability: 45%Our analysis points to a clear advantage for VfB Stuttgart. The primary factor is the current form of both clubs. Freiburg has started the 2025/26 season in the worst possible way, with consecutive losses where their defense was easily breached, conceding seven goals in two matches. Key injuries in their midfield could further compound these issues. Conversely, Stuttgart has secured a win and shown offensive firepower, even if their own defense has appeared shaky at times. The head-to-head record heavily favors Stuttgart, and recent encounters have been goal-filled, with the last 12 matches all producing a definitive winner. The betting markets align with this assessment, pricing Stuttgart as the favorite and strongly expecting goals. Given Freiburg's struggles to prevent scoring chances and Stuttgart's ability to create them, an away victory with both teams finding the net appears to be the most probable outcome.

Freiburg enters this match in dismal form, having suffered heavy defeats in their opening Bundesliga fixtures. The team has been defensively porous, conceding a high number of goals and currently sits near the bottom of the table. While they possess attacking quality, their inability to maintain defensive solidity is a major concern.
Tactical Notes
Freiburg typically attempts to play a possession-based game but has shown extreme vulnerability to counter-attacks and on set-pieces. The midfield could be weakened by injuries, potentially disrupting their build-up play and leaving the defense further exposed. They will need to tighten up significantly at the back to have a chance.
Key Players
Injuries
VfB Stuttgart has had a mixed but overall more positive start to the season compared to their opponents. Their attack has shown potency, but defensive lapses have led to inconsistent results, highlighted by a high-scoring cup match. They hold a significant historical advantage in this fixture and will look to exploit Freiburg's current weaknesses.
Tactical Notes
Stuttgart is expected to play on the front foot, leveraging their attacking talent to pressure Freiburg's fragile defense. While they are favorites, their own defensive record is not perfect, suggesting they may concede chances. The key will be their clinical finishing and ability to control the midfield battle.
