"Starting with the hosts, while Stuttgart might have signed off the 2024/25 campaign with three consecutive Bundesliga victories, Sebastian Hoeneb's side have largely come crashing back down to earth this time around. Desperate to book an immediate European return this year, Die Roten have the feel of a squad who are still searching for some crucial stability. Last seen marking their return from September's international break with a remarkable late collapse as they fell to a 3-1 defeat away at Freiburg,"
"Dealing with what has become a stacked injury list, Stuttgart will once again be without the likes of Ameen Al Dakhil, Justin Diehl, Luca Jaquez and former Brighton striker Deniz Under on Friday night. Suffering a serious late collapse away at Freiburg last weekend, Hoeneb could be tempted to make a string of changes here. Completing a permanent switch from domestic rivals Wolfsburg over the summer, Portuguese attacker Tiago Tomas could be handed a full recall."
Stuttgart have started the season poorly despite finishing 2024/25 strongly, losing two of their opening three Bundesliga matches and collapsing late at Freiburg. Home form is weak, with four defeats in six recent Bundesliga games at the MHPArena. A growing injury list rules out Ameen Al Dakhil, Justin Diehl, Luca Jaquez and Deniz Undav, prompting possible lineup changes. Tiago Tomas could return after his Wolfsburg move, while Bilal El Khannouss looks set to start. St. Pauli have shown early improvement and produced an action-packed 3-3 draw in their season opener, suggesting an open game and goal exchanges.
