Stuttgart placed 7th in the league with 51 points to their credit after 34 tours last season. Die Schwaben have had ten friendly matches this summer, won six of them, drew one and lost three. The team has had eight fixtures on the away side in 2018, won five of them, drew one and lost two. In their last three matches Stuttgart lost to Hansa with a 0-2 score, beat Real Sociedad with a 1-0 score and drew against Atletico with a 1-1 score.
