Stats for this game
Matchup VfB Stuttgart VS 1.FC Köln
Stuttgart have set the stronger terms
VfB Stuttgart have supplied the clearer weight in this fixture, particularly when they turn home pressure into an early advantage. Their 3–0 home win on 18 February 2023 and the 3–1 success against Köln on 14 February 2026 show a repeatable route to separation. The 4–1 result at the MHPArena on 4 September 2026 added another emphatic home statement.
Köln still have a route into the game
1.FC Köln’s 1–0 win at Stuttgart on 21 November 2010 and the 1–1 draw at Stuttgart on 24 February 2024 provide useful counterpoints. Köln can make the favourite work when the margin stays narrow, even if Stuttgart have more often converted the matchup into a win. Future meetings can ask whether Köln’s resistance travels well enough to alter the balance or Stuttgart’s home authority prevails again. That contrast keeps the fixture interesting while giving Köln a clear question to answer.
