Wolfsburg – Stuttgart Tip Bundesliga, Matchday 7 on Saturday, 10/18/2025 at 3:30 p.m.
On Matchday 7 of the Bundesliga, VfL Wolfsburg and VfB Stuttgart will face each other in an extremely interesting match. Given their current predicament, the Wolves are eager to finally get back on track, while Stuttgart needs a win to stay at the top.
There are several reasons why both teams should seek to play offensively. Accordingly, in my Wolfsburg vs. Stuttgart prediction, I’m expecting a rather turbulent exchange of blows and am targeting the “Both teams to score & over 2.5 goals” bet at Bet-at-home at odds of around 1.80.
Apart from the basic starting position, the most recent duels also clearly argue against a tired feeling-out process. In the last four matches alone, a total of 16 goals have been scored. My tip would have been correct in each case.
Since the Wolves were able to stand up to VfB in the previous season and collected four points in the two Bundesliga matches, I don’t expect it to be a walk in the park for the Swabians.
Wolfsburg – Stuttgart Prediction & Betting
As always, I’m giving you three betting alternatives. In fact, for me, the match between Wolfsburg and Stuttgart on matchday 7 is the one with the greatest value bet potential.
So it’s worth taking a closer look at my combination bet. “Both teams to score” has odds of around 1.50 on Oddset Mobile. “Over 2.5 goals” is even slightly higher at around 1.60.
If I had to decide, I would go for both teams to score. Wolfsburg has home advantage, but Stuttgart is in much better form.
Since I don’t expect to see a one-sided affair in Stuttgart’s favor, I’m also bringing the “draw at halftime” bet into play. With odds of around 2.20, it’s tempting to consider that the bookmakers don’t see a clear favorite for the match.
What you need to consider when betting on Wolfsburg vs. Stuttgart
- Paul Simonis’ team has yet to win a home game in the 2025/26 season, after winning only three of 17 games last season.
- After six games, Stuttgart averages 290 passes per 90 minutes in the opponent’s half – only Bundesliga leaders Bayern (393.83) and Dortmund (316) are ahead of the Swabians in this respect.
- Nine of Stuttgart’s ten games in all competitions started with the Swabians as favorites. In five of these nine games, they were even clear favorites with odds below 2.00.
- On the left side, Jamie Leweling (8) and Maximilian Mittelstädt (5) are among the four best Bundesliga players when it comes to crosses into the penalty area from open play.
Wolfsburg – Stuttgart: AI tip & odds analysis
Our AI model agrees with me that it will be an extremely close game between VfL Wolfsburg and VfB Stuttgart.
Accordingly, the digital brain’s Wolfsburg Stuttgart AI prediction also targets the 1×2 bet “draw” in its first tip. The odds of around 3.60 are solid and reflect the starting position. Keep in mind: Only nine of the 58 previous matches have ended in a draw.
It’s also interesting to spice up the pure draw bet a bit and exclude 0:0. “Draw & both teams to score” is close to the 4.00 mark and makes perfect sense. In my opinion, a 2-2 draw would be the perfect result for this match.
The tip “Wolfsburg under 1.5 goals” offers a little less risk. The Wolves have only scored eight goals this season and are in poor form. That’s why I think VfL will score exactly one goal against Stuttgart – and no more. The odds of around 1.70 at Bet365 Germany for the AI selection are therefore strong.
The best odds for Wolfsburg vs. Stuttgart
In the betting odds for Wolfsburg vs. VfB Stuttgart, the visitors are slight favorites at 2.45 in a match that is difficult for bookmakers to assess.

The Asian goal line for the upcoming game is over/under 3.0 goals. For “over” bets, four or more goals must be scored, while “under” bets win if two or fewer goals are scored. If exactly three goals are scored, the stake is refunded in full.
Both Wolfsburg and Stuttgart have already seen more than 2.5 goals in three of six games this season. Last season, Stuttgart had the second-highest rate in the Bundesliga with 24 of 34 games scoring over 2.5 goals.
Wolfsburg vs Stuttgart Match Analysis:
Wolfsburg vs. VfB Stuttgart is often a high-scoring duel, so plenty of goals are to be expected this weekend as well.
Paul Simonis prefers his teams to control the game, but this season he has only been able to do so to a limited extent. Wolfsburg averages just 47% possession and has the fourth-deepest defense in the Bundesliga. Therefore, the visitors are likely to have most of the possession in this match.
Despite their expected lower possession, Wolfsburg can still be dangerous. In their 2-1 win against Stuttgart earlier this year, the team scored goals from a set piece and a quick counterattack. They will try to be dangerous on the counter again this time.
However, the hosts’ build-up play is a cause for concern. Stuttgart ranks second in the Bundesliga for winning the ball high up the pitch. The Swabians are an accomplished pressing team, and winning the ball in the opponent’s half could lead directly to scoring chances.
Sebastian Hoeneß’s attacking style gives his team advantages, but also makes them vulnerable—especially away from home, where Stuttgart have already conceded six goals in three games.
Wolfsburg form check
The difficulties at Wolfsburg continue: Paul Simonis’s team are without a win in five Bundesliga games. With three consecutive defeats, the team is only just above the relegation zone.
While the defeats against Dortmund and Leipzig were somewhat expected, the 1-3 loss to Augsburg came as a surprise. A significantly better second half was just enough for Wolfsburg to get on the scoresheet, but they failed to pick up any points.
Statistically, Wolfsburg should have performed much better. All relevant metrics remain competitive, but the results leave something to be desired. Based on expected points (xPoints), Paul Simonis’ team should actually be in eighth place – not fifteenth.
Interestingly, Wolfsburg ranks sixth in expected goals (xG) with 9.6, but only fifteenth in shots on goal per 90 minutes. Their conversion rate remains inadequate, as evidenced by 18 missed big chances.
Wolfsburg has potential, but the key players need to step up and improve their poor conversion rate of just 9%.
Stuttgart Form check
In his four years at VfB Stuttgart, Sebastian Hoeneß’s greatest league success was second place in the 2023/24 season. The basis for this success was defensive stability – an aspect the team would like to repeat this season.
After six games, Stuttgart has three clean sheets and has conceded an average of 1.0 goals per game. In terms of expected goals against (xGA), the team is in third place with only 6.3.
However, there is a significant difference between home and away games. In the Bundesliga, the team has not conceded a goal at home, while away they have conceded an average of 2.0 goals per game.
Nevertheless, with 12 points after six Bundesliga games, the team has had its best start since the 2023/24 season. If they manage to take control away from home as well, they could once again hope for a place in the top four.
