Stuttgart vs Koln Prediction and Betting Tips 4 September 2026

Stuttgart will be looking to put their disappointing opening-day defeat behind them when they take on Koln in the Bundesliga round 2. Sebastian Hoeness’ side suffered a heavy 5-1 loss to Bayern Munich in round one, but there were still some positive signs going forward. Die Schwaben have scored 3.20 goals per game across their last 10 matches, while their home form has also been solid, with a 2.00 points-per-game average. Summer signing Dzenan Pejcinovic should retain his place in the starting XI, although Zagadou, Nartey, Jaquez, and Assignon remain sidelined.

Koln, meanwhile, started the campaign in style, beating Hoffenheim 3-2 in an entertaining opener. The Billy Goats have been involved in plenty of high-scoring games recently, with BTTS landing in nine of their last 10 matches. Thijs Dallinga should be recalled to the starting XI after making an immediate impact with a brace against Hoffenheim. There are no fresh injury concerns for the visitors.

Home advantage and the stronger H2H record make the hosts the preferred side. Therefore, we believe that Home Win should be considered, alongside Stuttgart Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (both teams have been involved in high-scoring games, with Koln averaging 4.20 total goals per match across their last 10).

This Bundesliga match will be played on Friday 4 September 2026 at 19:30.
