Stuttgart are making good use of the international break. Before facing Greuther Fürth, they played a friendly against Heidenheim, winning 3:0 without giving their opponents a chance. Stuttgart are gaining confidence ahead of the Bundesliga's resumption.
Stuttgart
Stuttgart can hardly be satisfied with the opening stretch of this season. They recorded high-scoring wins over Hansa Rostock (4:0), Cologne (4:1) and Viking (3:1), but also suffered some painful setbacks. They made plenty of defensive mistakes away to Bayern Munich (1:5) and at home to Borussia Dortmund (0:1). In the aforementioned friendly against Heidenheim (3:0), Stuttgart fielded almost their full-strength side — Angelo Stiller, Deniz Undav, Jamie Leweling and Maximilian Mittelstädt, all of whom had not been called up for international duty, started the match.
Greuther Fürth
Greuther Fürth have had a poor start to the season. They won just once in the opening six rounds, edging promoted Energie Cottbus 4:3 away from home. After a 1:1 draw with Magdeburg, they remained 12th in the 2. Bundesliga, two points above the relegation zone. Greuther Fürth have conceded in all seven of their matches this season.
Stuttgart vs Greuther Fürth Prediction
The sides last met in the 2021/22 season, when Stuttgart thrashed Greuther Fürth 5:1 at home. Another high-scoring friendly followed, with Stuttgart winning 6:1, so we have little reason to doubt their goalscoring ability.
