Stuttgart will be desperate not to make it two losses to start the 2026-27 Bundesliga campaign when they play at home on matchday against Koln, who started their season with a win. This match at MHPArena between the 18th-placed ‘Reds’ and the 6th-placed ‘Billy Goats’ is likely to see the hosts bounce back, with our prediction backing a Stuttgart win and BTTS.
After one match, Stuttgart are at the bottom of the standings, being one of the seven teams to have lost on matchday one. Koln are one of the seven teams that won their first game.
A 5-1 drubbing at the hands of defending champions Bayern Munich started Stuttgart’s league campaign last Friday. It brought the ‘Reds’ crashing down after winning 4-0 against Hansa Rostock in the DFB Pokal.
Playing at home could unlock Stuttgart, as they won 12 of the 17 league matches played at this venue last year (D3, L2).
Koln went behind twice but eventually won 3-2 against Hoffenheim last weekend at home to start the season on a high. That’s in line with their pre-season form, and the ‘Billy Goats’ have now won four of their last five matches (D1).
The challenge for Koln is to be competitive on the road, as they are winless across their last 13 Bundesliga away games (D6, L7).

Our Stuttgart vs Köln Prediction
A pasting at the hands of Bayern Munich on matchday one shouldn’t dampen Stuttgart’s enthusiasm, considering their strong home record. They have won six of their last eight Bundesliga home fixtures and will fancy their chances here. Koln won’t budge easily, coming on the back of a 3-2 win over Hoffenheim. They have struggled to close out games on the road but will look to be competitive.
The last three Bundesliga matches between these sides saw goals, while Stuttgart won four of the last five head-to-heads, so our Stuttgart vs Koln prediction is Stuttgart win and BTTS.
