VfB Stuttgart host Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga.
Both clubs have had a genuinely rocky start to this league campaign, a long way off the level they've shown in their wider recent form.
Their head-to-head history over the years is fairly even, but the last few meetings have swung Stuttgart's way. That leaves plenty open as we look closer at how each side is actually playing right now.

Gladbach's equivalent sample reads 9 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses, with 49 goals for and 33 against. It's a broadly similar shape to Stuttgart's, though this kind of mixed-competition sample includes some very one-sided friendly and cup scorelines, so it shouldn't be read as a pure league guide.
Neither side's broader form sample tells us much about how they're actually doing in the league right now.

The recent trend has leaned towards Stuttgart though. They won the last meeting 3-0 away in January and also took the August 2025 fixture 1-0 at home. Gladbach's most recent win in the fixture came back in February 2025.
A Difficult Start In The League Table
Zoom in on the current Bundesliga table and the picture looks a lot tougher for both teams. Stuttgart sit 15th with just three points from four games, having won once and lost three times.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14 | 1899 Hoffenheim | 4 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 7/10 | 3 |
| 15 | VfB Stuttgart | 4 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 6/9 | 3 |
| 16 | Hamburger SV | 4 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 2/13 | 3 |
| 17 | Union Berlin | 4 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 4/17 | 1 |
| 18 | Borussia Mönchengladbach | 4 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 6/16 | 0 |
Gladbach are down in 18th without a win at all, taking nothing from four matches and already shipping 16 goals. That's a much bleaker snapshot than their wider recent form would suggest.
Whatever their longer-term form shows, both sides have started this league season poorly, and Gladbach's defensive numbers stand out as a particular concern.
Players To Watch
On the individual side, Stuttgart's J. Vagnoman has been their standout recent scorer with two goals in four matches. For Gladbach, F. Honorat leads the assist numbers with two in four games.
Gladbach's K. Diks and T. Kleindienst have both picked up yellow cards in their last few outings. This is only a partial snapshot of each squad rather than full team news, so it shouldn't be read as a complete picture of who's available.

Putting It Together
Stuttgart go into this at home carrying a recent head-to-head edge and a broader form sample that's held up reasonably well, even if their league form this season has dipped.
Gladbach arrive under more pressure, winless in the league and leaking goals at an alarming rate, though their long-run head-to-head record with Stuttgart shows they're capable of causing problems when it matters.

With no market reference to assess, there's no sensible way to back a specific outcome here.
Stuttgart's recent head-to-head record and home advantage are worth noting, but Gladbach's long-run history in this fixture and both teams' current struggles mean there's too much uncertainty to single out a confident pick.
