Stuttgart seeking first away win of the Bundesliga 2026/2027 season
VfB Stuttgart travel to the Home Deluxe Arena, Germany on Saturday to take on SC Paderborn 07 at 59/100 in what looks a sure thing.
However, Die Schwaben have won 3 and lost 2 in their last 5 games and there is an extra layer of intrigue in their clash with the relegation-battling Die Ostwestfalen that suggests the visitors won't have it all their own way on Saturday.
Paderborn have taken 4 points from their opening 4 Bundesliga 2026/2027 games to sit in 12th.
That was enough to give Ralf Kettemann's side the platform to build a sturdy Bundesliga 2026/2027 squad on, with the coach now at the helm of the Paderborn ship since July 2025 and taking his team to the next level.
Ostwestfalen like to sit in and pounce
Die Ostwestfalen are an extremely compact and counter-attacking team who sit in a low block without the ball and then look to explode forward when the ball is won back.
Paderborn are on a 2-game winning streak at the time of writing, having won their opening game of the Bundesliga 2026/2027 campaign 3-1 at Hoffenheim before following it up with a 1-0 win away to D.C. United in a friendly.
They are a solid unit, albeit one which lacks the star power of Stuttgart, with Santiago Castaneda top scorer in Bundesliga 2026/2027 with 1 and Jonah Sticker adding a creative spark with 1 assist in 3 games.
Sebastian Hoeness' Stuttgart are a more structured team, built around keeping the ball and getting it through the lines with quick, one-touch combinations.
Hoeness has been in charge of Die Schwaben since 3 April 2023 and he won't deviate from that principle on Saturday, even if it means that Paderborn get the chance to win the second ball on the counterattack.
Both teams to score on the cards
Stuttgart's record of 0 wins and 2 defeats in their 2 away trips is a red flag.
And with 7 goals already shipped in those 2 games, both teams to score at 11/25 looks a lively alternative bet in what should be a close game with chances at both ends.
Josha Vagnoman has made a strong start to the Bundesliga 2026/2027, with his 2 goals in 4 matches outscoring every other player in Die Schwaben's starting 11.
He will be an attacking threat for Stuttgart, but with both sides capable of scoring on the day, we're going to chance a narrow away win or draw in the correct score market.
