Early-season high-flyers Koln and Stuttgart meet in this matchday five fixture of the 2025-26 campaign on Sunday. This match at RheinEnergieStadion between the fourth-placed Billy Goats and the eighth-placed Die Roten comes with our prediction of a home win.
Only one point separates these two sides, who start in the top eight ahead of this round. Koln’s seven points (W2, D1, L1) put them just three points behind second-placed Borussia Dortmund. Stuttgart’s six points (W2, L2) keep them just a point behind their hosts.
Koln lost 3-1 at Leipzig last week, keeping them winless in their last two matches (D1, L1) following a 3-3 draw in the previous matchday. It’s not grim reading for the hosts, as they started the season with three consecutive wins in all competitions.
Two of those wins have come in the league, and Koln won their only home fixture this season by a 4-1 result against Freiburg on matchday two.
Stuttgart defeated St Pauli 2-0 at home last matchday to continue their see-saw start to the season. The visitors have two wins and losses this season, each coming alternately.
Worryingly for the visiting fans, both the defeats for Stuttgart came away from home. They were beaten by Union Berlin (2-1) and Freiburg (3-1) on the road but will hope to arrest that slide here.

Our Köln vs Stuttgart Prediction
Koln were impressive at the start of the season with three consecutive wins in all competitions but now need to revive that. Just one point from their last two league games is a concern, but home form boosts their chances of winning here. Stuttgart have been alternating wins with defeats this season and will look to break that trend. Unfortunately for the visiting fans, both losses for Stuttgart came on the road this season.
Koln’s excellent home form combined with Stuttgart’s travelling blues means our Koln vs Stuttgart prediction is Koln wins the match.
