Stuttgart have to fight to stay in the German top flight after finishing third from bottom. The positive is that they didn’t suffer automatic relegation at least. They only picked up the seven wins across the course of the league campaign, but six of those were on home soil. So their best chance in this tie is going to be in this first leg at home. Their overall home record for the Bundesliga season was W6 D4 L1. Stuttgart averaged 1.29 goals per home game which is nothing to get excited about. The bigger problem is that they had the joint second-worst defensive record in the top flight.
