Goals Flow Freely as Stuttgart Host Cologne

Stuttgart have leaked plenty of goals in their recent fixtures while struggling to keep opponents at bay. Cologne have shown consistent attacking output across their matches so far. Neither side has kept a clean sheet in any of their outings this season. Both teams have scored in every game they have played. Stuttgart’s defensive record at home leaves them exposed to forward pressure from visitors. Cologne’s away form features regular contributions from their attack. These patterns point toward an open game with multiple goals likely.
