SpVgg Greuther Fürth are a newly-promoted team in the 2021-22 German Bundesliga, with Stefan Leitl’s side having finished second in the 2. Bundesliga last season and they have a puncher’s chance of remaining in the top flight. It is clear that they are trying to improve the quality of the squad and there have been seven new arrivals at the time of writing.
They are betting outsiders to win this clash away from home, with the supporters hoping to cheer them to at least a point in this opener, although it could be a tall task against a Stuttgart side who finished ninth in the division last season.
Pellegrino Matarazzo takes charge of Die Roten and they have signed Muller and Fuhrich for combined total of £7 million, with the home side warm favourites to land the spoils at the Mercedes-Benz Arena. There should be a pretty packed stadium for this clash.
It might take a while for the visitors to acclimatize to life at a higher level and this could be an opportunity for Stuttgart to get some early points on the board, with a shade of odds-on available about the home side.
BETTING VERDICT
Stuttgart to win
