Stats for this game
Matchup SC Freiburg VS VfB Stuttgart
Authority changes hands
The scorelines show a contest that can turn sharply. Freiburg won 3–1 on 13 September 2025, while Stuttgart responded 1–0 on 1 February 2026 and 2–1 after extra time in the DFB Pokal on 23 April 2026. Earlier, Stuttgart’s 5–0 home result in September 2023 stood against Freiburg’s 3–1 win in August 2024. The sequence gives both clubs evidence that a strong performance can reset the conversation.
Close games add another layer
Stuttgart’s 2–2 draw with Freiburg in February 2019 and Freiburg’s 3–3 draw in September 2018 show that the fixture can stay open without producing a winner. Freiburg also won 2–1 in January 2021 and 1–0 in August 2022, while Stuttgart had taken 2–1 in September 2020. League and cup settings bring different pressures, but the underlying question remains stable. A future meeting will ask whether Freiburg can turn its technical response into another result, or whether Stuttgart can impose the sharper edge that has appeared in its bigger wins.
