The Stuttgart team will compete in the state duel on the Ostalb this Sunday. The coach expects a strong opponent. A look at the expected VfB team that should score points.
VfB Stuttgart is fighting to go into the Christmas break with a good feeling. To do this, the Bundesliga team needs more points to stay close to the European Cup in the table. There are still two opportunities – and the first takes Sebastian Hoeneß's team to 1. FC Heidenheim on Sunday (3:30 p.m.) before facing FC St. Pauli on the following Saturday.
Two opponents trying to get out of the relegation zone. By all means, as the VfB coach says. “We have to assume that a team with knives between their teeth will await us in Heidenheim,” said Hoeneß about the clash in the Voith Arena. After a negative series and FCH coach Frank Schmidt's harsh criticism of his own players, the Heidenheimers are under pressure.
The Stuttgart team will still have to do without attackers Deniz Undav and Jamie Leweling on the Ostalb. Your return – after muscle injuries – is delayed. Hoeneß voluntarily renounces Ameen Al-Dakhil. The defender is supposed to gain match practice in the VfB second team after injury and illness.
