Stuttgart, who finished last season with four straight wins, have struggled to get going with even World Cup-winning defender Benjamin Pavard unable to shore up a leaky rearguard.

However, they can chalk up a first win of the season against Fortuna Dusseldorf, who also cannot keep a clean sheet.

Recommendation
Stuttgart
3pts 7-10 general

Key stat
A 3-0 defeat to Bayern is Stuttgart’s only loss in their last nine at home in the league.
