VfB Stuttgart II
- VfB Stuttgart II are in 11th position with 12 points after nine matches (slightly slow start).
- VfB Stuttgart II’s head coach, Nico Willig, also took charge of the second team in the summer but he’s done the opposite to his opposite number, favouring a more measured, midfield-dominant approach in which players cover each other, counter-press in the right moments, and build from the back in a structured way.
