VfB Stuttgart are gearing up to face FC St. Pauli in their matchweek 4 fixture of the Bundesliga 2025-26 season. The interesting contest between these sides will take place at the MHP Arena.

They opened their new season with a defeat against Union Berlin, but then made a comeback after winning their DFB Pokal fixture.
