Borussia Mönchengladbach have endured an exceptionally poor start to the league campaign, losing all six matches and conceding an average of 3.3 goals per game. Away from home, Gladbach have managed just one goal across three losses while shipping ten. Their task is further complicated by eight players being sidelined through injury, including Ko Itakura, Franck Honorat, and Tim Kleindienst.
Stuttgart have had an uneven league record with two wins and four losses, but their home performances show resilience, having conceded only two goals in two home league games. Stuttgart have also won the last two meetings between the sides to nil. Covering the home win or draw offers a well-grounded position against an opponent that has yet to take a single point.
