Stuttgart vs Holstein Kiel Match Exact Score Prediction, Bundesliga, 26th October 2024
Stuttgart
Stuttgart had a disappointing 2022-23 campaign, finishing 16th in the Bundesliga, just one point above the relegation play-off spot. They will be hoping for a better campaign in 2023-24, and they have made some shrewd signings in the summer transfer window.
One of Stuttgart's key signings is striker Serhou Guirassy from Rennes. The French forward scored 11 goals in 37 Ligue 1 appearances last season, and he will be hoping to replicate that form in Germany. Stuttgart have also signed defender Josha Vagnoman from Hamburg, and midfielder Atakan Karazor from Schalke.
Stuttgart will be hoping that these new signings can help them improve their attacking output in 2023-24. They scored just 34 goals in 34 Bundesliga matches last season, which was the second-lowest total in the league.
Holstein Kiel
Holstein Kiel had a successful 2022-23 campaign, finishing 3rd in the 2. Bundesliga. They will be hoping to continue their progress in 2023-24, and they have made some good signings in the summer transfer window.
One of Holstein Kiel's key signings is midfielder Finn Porath from Paderborn. The German midfielder scored 10 goals and provided 12 assists in 34 2. Bundesliga appearances last season, and he will be hoping to continue that form in the Bundesliga.
Holstein Kiel have also signed defender Simon Lorenz from Bochum, and striker Steven Skrzybski from Union Berlin. These new signings will add depth and quality to Holstein Kiel's squad, and they will be hoping to challenge for a top-half finish in the Bundesliga in 2023-24.
Match Prediction
This is a tough match to call, but I think Stuttgart will just edge it. They have more quality in their squad, and they will be playing at home. However, Holstein Kiel are a good team, and they will be no pushovers. I think it will be a close match, but Stuttgart will win 2-1.
