Stuttgart vs Wolfsburg prediction, odds & betting tips 01/03/2026

Stuttgart look set to be involved in a titanic clash for a place in the Bundesliga‘s top four, but they could lose the upper hand if they fail to beat visitors Wolfsburg at MHPArena on Sunday.

The fourth-placed hosts have 43 points, but they are only four ahead of sixth-placed rivals Bayer Leverkusen, though Sunday's visitors have troubles of their own given they are fourth last in 15th place with just 20 points.

Stuttgart vs Wolfsburg prediction: Leaky defences on both sides

Key stats

• Stuttgart have scored at least three times in six of their last nine matches.
• Both teams have scored in 18 of Wolfsburg’s 23 Bundesliga fixtures this season.
• The hosts have conceded more goals in their last three Bundesliga games (six) than they did in their previous seven league outings (four).

Correct score prediction: Stuttgart 3-1 Wolfsburg

Having performed excellently in front of goal for some time, Stuttgart will believe that their forwards can create chaos in Wolfsburg's defence.

The Wolves may have found their way onto the scoresheet more often than not in the Bundesliga, but containing the hosts' offence will be challenging.

Stuttgart preview: Stumbling over the finish line?

Stuttgart were held to a 3-3 stalemate by last-placed Heidenheim last weekend, and that was the second time in three Bundesliga games that they failed to win, with the club losing 2-1 against 16th-placed St Pauli on February 7.

Die Roten's squad is almost entirely available, with only teenager Lazar Jovanovic ruled out, though midfielders Atakan Karazor and Angelo Stiller are ready to feature once again.

Predicted lineup: Nubel (GK), Assignon, Jeltsch, Chabot, Mittelstadt, Karazor, Stiller, Leweling, El Khannouss, Fuhrich & Undav

Last five results:

• 26/02/26: Stuttgart 0-1 Celtic (Europa League)
• 22/02/26: Heidenheim 3-3 Stuttgart (Bundesliga)
• 19/02/26: Celtic 1-4 Stuttgart (Europa League)
• 14/02/26: Stuttgart 3-1 Koln (Bundesliga)
• 07/02/26: St Pauli 2-1 Stuttgart (Bundesliga)

Wolfsburg preview: Back to winning ways

Wolfsburg's situation is dire, as while they are above 16th-placed St Pauli, who occupy the division's relegation playoff spot, they are only above their relegation rivals due to goal difference.

Centre-back Konstantinos Koulierakis was a starter for the majority of the season, but he has recently found himself out of favour, so he may have to settle for a place on the bench.

Predicted lineup: Grabara (GK), Kumbedi, Vavro, Jenz, Belocian, Eriksen, Gerhardt, Daghim, Majer, Shiogai & Amoura

Last five results:

• 21/02/26: Wolfsburg 2-3 Augsburg (Bundesliga)
• 15/02/26: RB Leipzig 2-2 Wolfsburg (Bundesliga)
• 07/02/26: Wolfsburg 1-2 Borussia Dortmund (Bundesliga)
• 30/01/26: FC Koln 1-0 Wolfsburg (Bundesliga)
• 24/01/26: Mainz 05 3-1 Wolfsburg (Bundesliga)

Player to watch: Jamie Leweling

Winger Jamie Leweling has been in fine form for Stuttgart, scoring two goals and providing one assist in his last five games for the club.

The forward has also excelled when isolated against defenders, with his dribbling ability helping him get the better of numerous opponents, and his creative talents will be needed against Wolfsburg's deep block.
