Stuttgart strong: number one in the country and ready for Bayer. Deniz Undav, Maximilian Mittelstädt and an injured defender are the focus.

VfB, who have overcome their low at the beginning of the year, may be the first team that can defeat the Werkself this season. Freiburg's Merlin Röhl was shown a red card after a foul on the Stuttgart left-back (18th minute). “You can give it like that,” said SC coach Christian Streich.
