Head-to-Head Record
The archive holds just one recorded meeting between these two clubs: a 1-1 draw played on 5 August 2018, and that fixture was an International Club Friendly rather than a competitive game. With only a single prior encounter, there is no meaningful head-to-head pattern to lean on here – current form and this season’s Champions League standings tell you far more about where each side stands than that one match from 2018 ever could.
| Date | Match | Score | Competition | Season |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018-08-05 | VfB Stuttgart vs Atletico Madrid | 1-1 | International Club Friendly | 2018 |
VfB Stuttgart: Recent Form
VfB Stuttgart’s last six matches read L W W W W L (most recent first), yielding four wins and two defeats, 13 goals for and just two against, a form ppg of 2.00 and four clean sheets from the six. Two of those six games, against SpVgg Greuther Fürth and 1. FC Heidenheim 1846, were friendlies rather than competitive fixtures, so the win run should be read with that in mind. Their most recent result was a 0-1 loss away to Hamburger SV, sandwiched after a 3-0 Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava.
