Stuttgart, with a strong foundation as they finished fourth in the Bundesliga last season, is now in a tough spot. After a dismal start to the new season, suffering a heavy away defeat to Bayern in the first round, they find themselves at the bottom of the standings. A win is desperately needed to boost the team's morale. Adding to their woes, Stuttgart is currently hit by a severe injury crisis. As many as eight players are sidelined, including Zagadou and Thiago Thomas from the back - line.

However, they are not without problems. The first - round goal hero Darlings and the midfield linchpin Marah are both out due to physical issues. This significantly weakens their offensive finishing ability. Cologne is known for its

Stuttgart will be desperate not to make it two losses to start the 2026-27 Bundesliga campaign when they play at home on matchday against Koln, who started their season with a win. After one match, Stuttgart are at the bottom of the standings, being one of the seven teams to have lost on matchday one. Koln are one of the seven teams that won their first game. A 5-1 drubbing at the hands of defending champions Bayern Munich started Stuttgart’s league campaign last Friday. It brought the ‘Reds’ crashing down after winning 4-0 against Hansa Rostock in the DFB Pokal. Playing at home could unlock Stuttgart, as they won 12 of the 17 league matches played at this venue last year (D3, L2).
