Stuttgart Dismantles Heidenheim: Chabot Orchestrates Defensive Masterclass
Skip It Futmetrix Score: 27/100. A masterclass in Intensity and control—Stuttgart suffocates Heidenheim and extends their winning streak to three consecutive victories.
The Siege Begins
From the opening whistle, this was no contest—it was methodical domination. Stuttgart unleashed an Attacking Siege that manifested in 18 shots, a barrage that left Heidenheim gasping. The visitors managed five attempts, just one on target. A 3.6:1 ratio that screamed total superiority. Bilal El Khannouss orchestrated the midfield with four key passes, waiting patiently for his moment. It arrived in the 65th minute when he finished clinically after Maximilian Mittelstädt's pinpoint delivery to seal the 1-0 victory.
Chabot: The Immovable Object
While the attack glittered, it was the defence that defined this evening. Jeff Chabot delivered an Outstanding Performance (Rating: 8.3), suffocating every attacking impulse before it could crystallise into danger. With 64% possession and 86% pass accuracy, Stuttgart controlled the match like chess grandmasters. Heidenheim never found rhythm, lost Balance early, and could only react. Three offside calls exposed the visitors' desperation against such organised superiority.
The Season's Trajectory
Stuttgart consolidates fourth place with 15 points from seven matches. The hosts are in title-contending form. For Heidenheim, the situation grows critical: three points from six matches and a goal difference of -7 signals danger. This wasn't merely a defeat—it was a statement of class.
Key Questions
What does this mean for VfB Stuttgart's season?
Stuttgart consolidates fourth position and demonstrates the mental resilience of a title contender. Four wins from six matches underline genuine ambitions for the season.
How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?
The Futmetrix Score (0-100) combines multiple factors: match intensity, competitive balance, stakes importance, and entertainment value to help you decide if this match is worth watching.
Upper Table Ambitions Meet Survival Instincts
Skip It Futmetrix Score: 43/100. VfB Stuttgart seeks to re-establish their dominance in the European race while Heidenheim faces a daunting task at the MHP Arena.
The Setup
As we enter matchday 6, VfB Stuttgart occupies the 6th spot with 22 points, contrasting sharply with 1. FC Heidenheim languishing in 16th. The Form of the visitors has been erratic, and while they showed flashes of brilliance early on, their defensive Balance has since collapsed. Stuttgart boasts a significant advantage in Stars, with a squad depth that allows them to dictate the tempo. The Stakes are high for both: the hosts need to stay within touching distance of the top four, while the visitors are desperate to snap a losing streak that has seen them plummet toward the bottom.
Key Battle
The match will likely be decided by the duel between Ermedin Demirović and Heidenheim’s Leo Scienza. Demirović has been the focal point of a rampant Stuttgart attack, assisted brilliantly by Jamie Leweling. Scienza, on the other hand, represents Heidenheim's best hope of a counter-attacking spark to unsettle the home side's high defensive line.
Our Prediction
Stuttgart’s control over the midfield, led by A. Stiller, will likely starve Heidenheim of possession. While Diant Ramaj has been busy in goal for the visitors, the sheer volume of chances created by the hosts will eventually tell. Expect Alexander Nübel to keep a clean sheet as Stuttgart secures a comfortable 2-0 victory through relentless pressure and clinical finishing.
Key Questions
Should I watch this match?
Yes, to see one of the league's most exciting attacks in full flow against a resilient underdog.
What's the predicted outcome?
A straightforward 2-0 win for VfB Stuttgart at the MHP Arena.

How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?
