🏰 Europe’s toughest fortress: no one outclasses VfB Stuttgart here | OneFootball

VfB Stuttgart has had a good start to the season. However, even their most loyal supporters would hardly count the Bundesliga’s third-placed team among the best in Europe. Yet, they are actually leading the continent – at least in one statistic.

That’s because the Swabians are the only team in the top five leagues that has yet to concede a goal at home in the current league season.

Up until last weekend, Bayern Munich was among those keeping pace. But then, during their 2-1 home win against BVB, Julian Brandt spoiled their clean sheet.

VfB, on the other hand, kept things tight at the back in their matches against Gladbach (1:0), St. Pauli (2:0), and Heidenheim (1:0). Three games may not be the ultimate benchmark. If it were that easy, many other heavyweights would also have a spotless record.

Is this a reason to go into the next home game with confidence? Apparently not for all Stuttgart supporters. The dark prophecy from X-user "NLR_Moritz": "What happens in the 2nd minute against Mainz 05 should be clear now."
