VfB Stuttgart won three of their previous six matches at Mercedes-Benz Arena in the Bundesliga. They drew two and suffered one defeats, scoring ten goals to nine against.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly VfB Stuttgart might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Bundesliga looks the most realistic scenario.

Freiburg added four points to their collection in their last three matches, which began with a 1-1 draw with Kaiserslautern. A 0-4 win against Augsburg followed, before a 1-3 defeat against B. Dortmund in their most recent match. Freiburg won half their previous six away matches in the Bundesliga, as well as seeing two draws and suffering one defeat. They scored 12 goals whilst conceding seven.

Freiburg go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, perhaps even contesting for a place in a European competition.
