VfB delivered their first truly poor performance in the Champions League this season, suffering a crushing 1–5 defeat in Belgrade. To top it off, it was Silas who started the turnaround.
Even in the Champions League, supposedly easier opponents are now on the schedule—but does that apply to Red Star Belgrade, who are still without a point? We spoke about this with Crvena zvezda fan Denis.
Hardly is the international break over, and the scheduling stress continues. In Belgrade, VfB Stuttgart aims to build on their home victory against Bochum, but they must improve compared to their game against the league’s bottom team.
VfB Stuttgart defied their injury crisis and earned a hard-fought but well-deserved 2–0 victory over Bochum. The team demonstrated that it has a certain level of depth in quality—but also revealed that this quality was brought to the field more through individual effort than collective performance.
The bottom-of-the-table VfL Bochum appears to be an easy opponent heading to the Neckarstadion on Saturday—but they recently surprised under their new coach. We spoke with VfL fan Sarah about the situation “anne Castroper”.
The last international break until March next year is over. At home, VfL Bochum awaits as an opponent at rock bottom, but they are arriving with some momentum.
Just before the next international break, VfB Stuttgart will host the team of the moment, Eintracht Frankfurt, at the Neckarstadion. The SGE (Sportgemeinschaft Eintracht) seems to have regained its former strength, partly thanks to a former Stuttgart player. For the players with the red stripe on their jerseys, this will be the next true endurance test.
After the loss to Atalanta, VfB Stuttgart now faces another top match against Eintracht Frankfurt. Frankfurt fan Cettina tells us what’s going on with the SGE.
In their second home Champions League game against Atalanta, the unbeaten streak at Neckarstadion comes to an end. The team actually does a lot right and makes only a few mistakes—but these mistakes are all the more costly.
With Atalanta BC coming to the Neckarstadion tonight, we’re likely facing one of the toughest opponents in the Champions League group stage. At the same time, VfB has stabilized and is well-staffed — yet a more active performance than on Friday in Leverkusen will be necessary to keep the home record intact.
