Full-time

Full-time: Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-3 Stuttgart

The away side come away from Borussia Park with their first three points of the season. Both sides contributed to a high-tempo, entertaining game in which they both created their fair share of chances. A quick double from Demirović around the hour mark ultimately left Gladbach with too much to do in the remaining time, and Stuttgart only grew in confidence once they'd got their two-goal cushion.

Half-time

Half-time: Gladbach 1-1 Stuttgart

The home side started brightly with Kleindienst looking particularly motivated up top, but it was Stuttgart's Undav who opened the scoring for an away side that were slow to get started. It wasn't long until the home side equalised through Pléa, who then had to be replaced due to an injury picked up in the process of nodding home.

Bright start

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).

The home side have looked good early on, pressing well and forcing a couple of errors from the opposition.

Watch: Happy birthday, Günter Netzer

Gladbach fans broke out in song to celebrate the 80th birthday of club legend Günter Netzer prior to kick-off.

Birthday win?

Gladbach legend Günter Netzer, who turns 80 today, will hope the Foals can secure the three points on his special day.

Clinical Kleindienst

Tim Kleindienst has got two goals in tow Bundesliga games for his new side already, and will hope to build on his positive start to his Gladbach career today. Last season for Heidenheim, he scored his first three goals by Matchday 8, will he beat that record this season?

Undav up and running

The international break was a positive one for Deniz Undav, who scored in Germany's 2-2 draw with Holland. He'll aim to grab another goal today for his club side, which would be his first of the season.

Fresh start

Stuttgart will look to get up and running with their first Bundesliga win of the season away at Borussia Park, and will see today as a fresh start after the international break. Gladbach, meanwhile, will be looking to continue their bright start to the season, which saw them narrowly lose to Leverkusen and win at Bochum.

Stuttgart out for first win

A draw and a defeat for last season's runners-up left VfB without a win going into the international break. Gladbach, on the other hand, have one win and one loss so far.

Hoeneß on facing Gladbach

"They have two new players in their side in Stöger and Kleindienst who are both good players and give them an immediate boost. They have changed a few things. They are very active and are really trying to play good football. They will definitely want to press on at home after their good start. We want to try to dampen their good spirits."

Seoane on facing Stuttgart

"Stuttgart have lost important players, but they haven't changed their playing style much. We will try and remain compact and force them into errors. We can take confidence from the first games, but we know that we have to put in the hard yards every time."

Watch: Stuttgart gearing up for Champions League return

Last season's runners-up will be playing their final Bundesliga game before taking on Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League next week. What a ride it's been for the southern club!

Favourite opponent

Gladbach summer signing Tim Kleindienst, who has scored twice in as many games so far this Bundesliga season, was on target home and away against Stuttgart for Heidenheim last term. With three goals all told, he's put more Bundesliga goals past VfB than any team he's faced.
