VfB Stuttgart Stats 2025-2026

The statistical profile of VfB Stuttgart in the 2025-2026 Bundesliga season tells a multifaceted story. With an average possession of 54.5%, VFB operate as a balanced team that can adapt between holding the ball and pressing without it, the tactical flexibility that characterises the modern Bundesliga. The pass accuracy of 84.8% provides context: higher completion rates generally correlate with possession but also reflect risk-averse passing, while lower figures can indicate a more direct, vertical style that accepts turnovers in exchange for penetration.

From an expected goals perspective, VFB's xG of 42.1 against an xGA of 31.5 produces a differential of +10.6. A positive xG difference of this magnitude confirms that the underlying performance metrics support their league position. The gap between expected and actual goals also matters: VFB have scored 45 actual goals versus 42.1 xG (overperforming by 2.9), which suggests clinical finishing that may regress towards the mean.

The disciplinary record of 52 yellow cards and 3 red cards across 26 matches (2.0 yellows per game) is average for the Bundesliga, indicating a competitive but not reckless approach to physical duels and tactical fouling. With 7 clean sheets in 26 matches, the defence has shut out opponents in 27% of fixtures. A solid if unspectacular ratio that provides a defensive foundation to build upon in the remaining matches. Ranking 6th for goals scored and 5th for goals conceded, VfB Stuttgart occupy a clear statistical niche within the 2025-2026 Bundesliga table.
