VfB Stuttgart – SV Darmstadt 98
Due to the 1st matchday of the international cup competitions, we can expect a Friday match without a presumed top team. However, a look at the table reveals something different, as the Swabians have had a great start to the season and are currently ahead of Dortmund, Union Berlin, Frankfurt & Freiburg in the table. The Bundesliga newcomers from Darmstadt, on the other hand, are struggling with the familiar problems of a promoted team and have only earned one point. Find out in our Stuttgart – Darmstadt betting tips whether it will be enough for a point against the in-form Stuttgart side on Friday.

Stuttgart Form & Balance Check
So far, things are going well for the Swabians and Sebastian Hoeneß is in 4th place in the table after four match days. For VfB, the best record in 19 years after four matchdays. Apart from the 1:5 defeat away to Leipzig on matchday 2, VfB could convince in all appearances and took full points from the remaining three games. Particularly impressive was the 5-0 drubbing against Freiburg two matchdays ago.
New home strength?
With 14 goals in four games, the Swabians have the most dangerous attack in the Bundesliga. New signing Serhou Guirassy has played a big part in this, scoring eight goals and topping the scoring charts. Stuttgart won the first two home games impressively with 5:0, something that no one in Bundesliga history has ever achieved before.
Stuttgart facts & analysis
- historically good start
- In 4th place in the table
- Best offence with 14 goals
Darmstadt form & balance check
The Lillies – as was to be expected – are having some difficulties in the Bundesliga. Although they could at least secure a point in the end against Gladbach on the last matchday, the squandered 3:0 lead still weighs heavily on their shoulders. With this point, they are currently only good enough for 17th place in the table. The Darmstadt team will have to fight hard for the points to stay in the league. The sticking point is clearly the defence, which with 14 goals conceded is the worst in the Bundesliga.
Good development?
The 3:3 draw against Gladbach saw them annoyingly squander a 3:0 lead, but they showed morale in a shorthanded game and passed the red lantern to Mainz with their first point win. Even though the match was not ideal, it will have given the Hessians some self-confidence. However, they now face the Swabians, the team with the best form in the home table.
Darmstadt facts & analysis
- Thirteen goals conceded in four games.
- Currently 17th in the table
- First one point
