Time for another goal or two, Serhou?

A hat-trick to take Stuttgart to the top of the table! Serhou Guirassy meets a loose ball after Silas charged at Casteels, shimmies around a couple of defenders and slots in to make more history!

What a great Bundesliga moment. Serhou Guriassy puts Stuttgart into the lead - becoming the first man in Bundesliga history to score 12 goals after seven matches of a season! Führich dribbled to the edge of the box and threaded a pass through for Guirassy to run around Casteels and convert from close range.

Führich chips the ball over the defence and Undav smashes a volley on goal but it's saved by Casteels. A winning goal here would be enough to take Stuttgart top...

That's goal number eleven for the Bundesliga's leading scorer as he lifts the ball cooly down the middle after being fouled by Zesiger for the spot kick.

The striker on loan from Brighton is introduced along with Silas. Undav scored twice last weekend to win Stuttgart's tie against Cologne.

It remains an open encounter in the second half, with Guirassy having a shot saved but Tiago Tomas being stopped twice against his former side in a matter of minutes.

An entertaining first half ends with the visitors in the lead thanks to Gerhardt's strike. Wolfsburg had further chances but Stuttgart had a Guirassy goal disallowed.

Ito swings a cross from the left over to Leweling on the right, but Maehle puts in a block. Wolfsburg have defended well so far.

End-to-end drama in Stuttgart! Moments after blocking a shot from Führich in the hosts' best effort yet, Yannick Gerhardt sweeps the ball in at the other end on the rebound.

The visitors have seen the better chances so far. Wolfsburg's Portuguese winger lets rip from inside the area but Nübel gets down well to save.

The striker in red-hot form slammed the ball in but the goal has been disallowed for offside.

The video referee was called in to examine a possible Rouault handball, but no offence was spotted.

All four 3:30pm CEST kick-offs are underway - with some fascinating ties in store, and the possibility of new league leaders by the end of the afternoon. Though Tiago Tomas fires the first shot here for Wolfsburg!

Each side has been led by an in-form striker in the early stages of the campaign. No player has scored more goals than Serhou Guirassy's 10 - he bagged those across the first five games, equalling Robert Lewandowski's record - while Jonas Wind has found the back of the net seven times for Wolfsburg.

Wolfsburg have had the better of this match-up in recent meetings, winning four of the last six. Stuttgart's last victory, meanwhile, came in 2021, when they prevailed 2-0. They last beat Die Wölfe at home in 2019, though, and will be looking to break that four-game drought here.

Few would expected Die Schwaben to sit second in the table after six matchdays, yet here we are. Sebastian Hoeneß has revitalised the side after only just avoiding relegation last term - they needed a relegation play-off win over Hamburg to secure their top-tier status - even following the sales of key players such as Konstantinos Mavropanos, Borna Sosa and Endō. Only Leverkusen and Bayern (20) have netted more than their 19 goals, while they are enjoying their best start to a season in 27 years.

Niko Kovač's team have been quietly taking care of business so far this campaign. With four wins and two defeats from their six games, they sit seventh in the table with 12 points to their name. There have been impressive victories over Union Berlin and Frankfurt and, although they lost to Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim, both those teams have also looked good thus far. A win away at Stuttgart would be a further boost to their top-four credentials.
