Koln will host Stuttgart at the MHP Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side have endured a poor start to their season and continue to search for their first league win of the campaign. They were beaten 2-1 by Werder Bremen in their last game, taking the lead at the half-hour mark via a Davie Selke header before their opponents scored twice in the following 40 minutes to turn the game on its head and snatch all three points.
Koln sit 16th in the league table with just one point from five games and will be looking to add to that tally this Saturday.
Stuttgart, meanwhile, have enjoyed a brilliant start to their season and currently find themselves in the upper echelons of the table. They picked up a 3-1 comeback win over newly-promoted Darmstadt last weekend featuring goals from Enzo Milot and in-form striker Serhou Guirassy.
The visitors sit third in the Bundesliga standings with 12 points from five games. They will look to continue their strong run of form when they play this weekend.

Koln vs Stuttgart Prediction
Koln are on a run of back-to-back defeats and are without a win in their last seven Bundesliga outings. They have won just one of their last nine home matches and could struggle here.
Stuttgart, on the other hand, have won their last three games on the bounce and five of their last six. They are in much better form than their weekend opponents and should come out on top here.
