Fulham host Stuttgart at Craven Cottage on August 15 in what looks like a genuinely interesting pre-season test. Álvaro Arbeloa’s side has had a mixed summer, collecting just one win from their last four outings, while Sebastian Hoeneß brings a Stuttgart squad that has been in outstanding form, winning all five of their matches in the past 30 days. The gap in momentum between these two sides is notable, and it makes Stuttgart a legitimate favourite despite playing away from home.
One player to track for Stuttgart is the attacking midfielder who has been central to their build-up play throughout this pre-season run, consistently combining well in tight spaces. On the Fulham side, their most creative forward has shown flashes of quality in recent outings and will be the player most likely to cause Stuttgart’s defence problems if given space to operate at Craven Cottage.
A standout stat from Stuttgart’s recent matches: they scored 20 goals across their last three pre-season fixtures against Kickers Offenbach, Hollenbach, and Balingen, averaging more than six goals per game. That level of attacking output will not continue against Premier League opposition, but it does point to a side arriving in sharp condition and with genuine attacking intent built into the system.

Fulham vs Stuttgart Prediction
Stuttgart’s form is the defining factor here. Five wins from five in the past 30 days, including a 3-1 win over Everton and a 2-1 win over Paris, shows they are not just beating lower-ranked opposition. They are performing at a high level against credible sides too. Fulham, by contrast, have won just once in four matches, drawing twice and losing once. The home advantage at Craven Cottage matters in a competitive context, but in pre-season friendlies that factor carries less weight.
We think Stuttgart win here at odds around 2.90-3.05 represents decent value given the form disparity. The match total is another area worth considering. Fulham’s last five games have produced goals consistently, including a 2-2 draw with Malaga, a 2-1 win over SC Farense, and a 1-1 draw with Al Ahli SC. Stuttgart have been scoring freely. Both teams have the attacking personnel to make this an open match, and over 2.5 goals looks a reasonable expectation.
Both teams to score is also plausible. Fulham have found the net in four of their last five games, and Stuttgart have been conceding while scoring heavily in pre-season, suggesting their defensive shape may not be fully locked in yet.

Team Analysis
Fulham’s pre-season has been inconsistent. They beat SC Farense 2-1 in early August and recorded a solid 2-0 win over Newcastle in late July, but either side of those results they have drawn twice and lost to Crystal Palace 1-2. The Crystal Palace loss is the most recent result before this match, and it highlighted some defensive fragility. Arbeloa’s side is using a 4-2-3-1 shape, which gives them structure in midfield, but they have not yet found the consistency to string wins together. The draw with Malaga, 2-2, showed they can score but also that they are vulnerable at the back when pressed.
Stuttgart have been in a completely different gear. Their last match, a 3-1 win over Everton, was the most meaningful test of their pre-season and they passed it comfortably. Before that, a 2-1 win over Paris and an 8-1 demolition of Kickers Offenbach showed both quality and depth. The wins over Hollenbach (5-0) and Balingen (7-0) earlier in the month were against much weaker opposition, but they still signal a team that is well-drilled and confident going forward. Sebastian Hoeneß has them playing with energy and directness in a 4-2-3-1 setup that mirrors Fulham’s own preferred shape, which should make for an interesting tactical battle in the middle of the park.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Stuttgart the favourite
- Moneyline Fulham 2.10 | Stuttgart 2.93
- Draw 3.70
- Over/Under Over 2.5 — | Under 2.5 —
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes — | No —
The bookmakers have Fulham as a narrow favourite at home, with odds around 2.05-2.19, but we honestly think the market is underestimating Stuttgart here. A side that has won five straight and beaten Everton 3-1 in their most recent outing deserves more respect than a 32% implied probability suggests. The draw at around 3.67-3.85 reflects genuine uncertainty, which is fair, but Stuttgart’s current form makes the away win the best value play on the board. Fulham at home in a friendly against a team in this kind of shape is not the straightforward bet the odds imply.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Stuttgart arrive at Craven Cottage in the better shape by a clear margin. Five wins from five, goals scored freely against a range of opponents including Premier League side Everton, and a coach who has the team well organised in a 4-2-3-1 system. Fulham have the home advantage and some individual quality, but their recent form, one win from four with two draws and a loss, does not inspire confidence against a side this sharp.
We back Stuttgart to win this match. The 3-1 result over Everton was the clearest signal that this squad is ready to compete, and Fulham have shown enough defensive inconsistency over the summer to suggest Stuttgart’s attackers will find openings. Over 2.5 goals looks likely given both teams’ recent scoring records, and both teams to score adds further interest. Stuttgart win is the headline pick, with the goal markets offering solid secondary value.
