Venue (City, Stadium) | Home Deluxe Arena |
Paderborn vs Vfb Stuttgart brings a wounded favourite to the Home Deluxe Arena, with the Bundesliga visitors priced at 8/13 (Ladbrokes) despite arriving on a losing run.
Paderborn climbed to 12th after their first win since returning to the top flight, against Hoffenheim last time out. Betfred offer 4/1 for the hosts to back it up.
Stuttgart sit 15th and have won only 3 of their last 10 matches against all opponents, which makes that short price look stingy.
History is firmly with the visitors. Paderborn have yet to beat Stuttgart in previous meetings, with the visitors winning four and the rest ending in a draw.
Paderborn vs Vfb Stuttgart Form
Paderborn claimed their first win since returning to the Bundesliga by beating Hoffenheim 3-1 at the Home Deluxe Arena, lifting them into mid-table. Ralf Kettemann said his squad had their best training week of the season during the break. Laurin Ulrich has been a nuisance in the engine room, winning 2+ fouls in 3 of his last 3 Bundesliga outings.
Stuttgart have lost back-to-back Bundesliga games, the latest a home defeat to Borussia Dortmund. They did enjoy dominant friendly wins over domestic opposition during the break, and Sebastian Hoeneß says the pause was used to sharpen tactical structures. The attacking pressure is still there, with 6+ corners in each of their last 3 Bundesliga matches.

Paderborn vs Vfb Stuttgart Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Our Paderborn vs Vfb Stuttgart prediction is a 1-2 away win. Stuttgart are rated 60.8% to take the points, and their wide threat and individual quality should be too much for a Paderborn side who struggle to keep the ball. The visitors are no fortress, though, and their weakness against counter attacks gives the hosts an implied probability to goal in what should be an open, messy afternoon.
Best Bets
Stuttgart to win and the match to have over 2.5 goals, in the Match Result and Over/Under 2.5 market. Stuttgart have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 away matches against Paderborn in all competitions. On top of that, Paderborn's last 3 home matches against Stuttgart in all competitions have all produced over 2.5 goals, which fits neatly with an away win in a lively game.
Stuttgart to win with both teams scoring, in the Match Result And Both Teams To Score market. Both teams to score is rated at 63.6%, and Stuttgart's habit of switching off against counter attacks, through balls and individual errors makes a Paderborn goal far from fanciful. Pairing it with the away win beats taking BTTS Yes alone at a skinny price.
Paderborn vs Vfb Stuttgart Bet Builder
Our Paderborn vs Vfb Stuttgart bet builder tips combine a Stuttgart win, Deniz Undav to score anytime, both teams to score and Julian Chabot to be shown a card.
Stuttgart have had 5+ shots on target in each of their last 3 Bundesliga matches. That volume should tell against a Paderborn side that struggles to keep possession.
Deniz Undav is set to play the number ten role behind Pejcinovic, and carving out opportunities through individual skill is one of Stuttgart's biggest strengths. He is the obvious focal point.
There have been 29+ shots taken in 3 of Paderborn's last 4 Bundesliga matches, and the same is true of Stuttgart's. Add a leaky Stuttgart rearguard and both sides can score.
Marvin Pieringer has committed 2+ fouls in 4 of his last 4 Bundesliga appearances against Stuttgart. Julian Chabot will be right in the middle of that physical scrap at centre-back.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 12/1 and is as short as 49/5 elsewhere.

Paderborn vs Vfb Stuttgart Talking Points
There are reunions everywhere. Dennis Seimen goes in goal for Stuttgart against the club where he spent last season on loan. Laurin Ulrich, on loan at Paderborn from Stuttgart, faces his parent club, while Chris Führich returns to face a former employer. Tactically, Paderborn are strong in the air and stubborn at defending set pieces, but they are poor at keeping the ball, which suits a Stuttgart side who love attacking down the wings. The visitors' problem is at the back: they are vulnerable on the counter, and Paderborn's direct, long-ball approach could expose that.
