-------------------------------
Match Preview:
Koln earned promotion to the top flight in 2024-25 after winning the 2.Bundesliga, and though Lukas Kwasniok - who was appointed in the summer - will be prioritising survival, their strong start has fans looking upwards.

The Billy Goats kicked off their league campaign with back-to-back wins, including a 4-1 thrashing of Freiburg on August 31, a game in which they took a four-goal lead before conceding a consolation strike late on.

Notably, that win was the only game that Sunday's hosts have played on their own turf since their campaign kicked off with August 17's DFB Pokal clash against Jahn Regensburg, and the home supporters will be hoping to see their team repeat the success against Stuttgart.

Meanwhile, Sebastian Hoeness's Stuttgart managed a mid-table finish last season, but while they have made a mixed start to this term's Bundesliga campaign, a spot in the top four is within their reach this weekend.

Die Roten began 2025-26 by losing 2-1 in the Super Cup to Bayern before tasting defeat by the same scoreline in their first top-flight clash, though they have since responded with five wins from their last six games across all competitions.

On Thursday, Hoeness's men followed up their 2-0 domestic victory over St. Pauli by beating La Liga's Celta Vigo 2-1 in the Europa League's league phase, with Leicester City loanee Bilal El Khannouss playing a starring role in both triumphs.

Match Prediction:
Koln may be a promoted team, but they are amongst the top scorers in the Bundesliga this term, and they could net more than once this weekend. Additionally, while Stuttgart are in strong form ahead of this clash, they have a habit of conceding late goals, and may have to settle for a point on Sunday.
