Tough opponents ahead: How VfB can hold their own against Bayern and co | OneFootball

Not only is there an English week awaiting VfB Stuttgart, but the tasks in the Bundesliga are not getting any easier. After the home game against Feyenoord Rotterdam on Thursday, Borussia Dortmund (22.11.) and Bayern Munich (6.12.) await in the league.

But how can the Swabians hold their own against these opponents? 'Bild' names three trump cards that Sebastian Hoeneß and his team have.

The first point is the defense, because after Bayern and Dortmund, Stuttgart conceded only ten goals - just as few as RB Leipzig. For comparison: In the previous season, VfB had to accept 16 goals against at the same time.

In addition to their defensive strength, the Swabians also have a large squad and can rotate a lot. This strategy worked for Sebastian Hoeneß both against Mainz in the league and in the cup - his team won both times.

Then there's the home strength. Four wins in four games and only one goal conceded. Only FC Bayern can boast such a strong record. The Swabians will play against the record champions at home on the first weekend of December.
