Full-time: Stuttgart 1-1 Cologne
Stuttgart frustrated by a well-drilled and disciplined Cologne side. After Millot gave Stuttgart the lead, Cologne fought back and deservedly levelled, before digging in to hold on for another precious point.

Ali-doesn't!
Almost a winner for Cologne, as Alidou skips past the last line of the Stuttgart defence, but cannot cut his shot in from a tight angle, finding only the side-netting! A big let-off for the hosts, and a huge missed opportunity for Cologne.

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Cat. Among. The. Pigeons!
What a time to net your first goal of the season! Martel is left unmarked at the far post, and he has time to bring the ball down before turning it in from close range. Game on!
Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Shot speed
Shot speed
Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

The breakthrough!
A well-worked team goal as Führich exchanges passes with a neat one-two before teeing up Millot, who tucks the ball in!

Half-time: Stuttgart 0-0 Cologne
A largely one-sided first half, but without any clear chances for Stuttgart. Guirassy's header was the closest they got to breaking the deadlock against a defensive Cologne, whose game plan appears to be working.

Guirassy goes close!
You would expect Guirassy to put that away! He leaps high and sends his header just wide of the left-hand post - the first big chance of this game so far.

More on those teams
Fabian Bredlow shakes off a stomach bug to start in goal for Stuttgart. Josha Vagnoman comes in for the suspended Pascal Stenzel at right-back, but Maximilian left-back Mittelstädt is only fit enough for a place on the bench. Anthony Rouault is cycled in at centre-back, with Hiroki Ito moving to the left-hand side. Deniz Undav misses out through injury, while Jeong Woo-yeong is preferred to Jamie Leweling. Enzo Millot is recalled in the No.10 role. As for Cologne, Timo Schultz makes three changes to the 1-0 loss to Bremen. Rasmus Carstensen gets the nod over Benno Schmitz at right-back, Jeff Chabot replaces unwell centre-back Timo Hübers and 19-year-old Justin Diehl is handed his full Bundesliga debut in attack. Linton Maina is the man to make way.

Stuttgart team news
Sebastian Hoeneß, meanwhile, has problems at both ends of the pitch. Usual starting goalkeeper Alexander Nübel has missed the last two matches with a hip issue and is doubtful here as well, while Deniz Undav suffered a hamstring injury against Darmstadt and is therefore also unavailable. He will be joined by Pascal Stenzel, who will be serving his one-match suspension, on the sidelines.
Cologne team news
Timo Schultz's main selection comes up front, as he will definitely be without three strikers in Davie Selke, Mark Uth and Luca Waldschmidt and may also have to set his team up in the absence of a fourth, Faride Alidou, who is recovering from illness. Otherwise, he has a full squad to choose from.
Head-to-head
Stuttgart have had the better of this match-up in recent games, winning three and drawing one of the last four while conceding just once. Cologne's last victory over the Baden-Württemberg outfit came in 2021, when Anthony Modeste's strike secured a 1-0 victory.
