**Stuttgart's U21 lads are running hot, but Würzburg's got some teeth** — this midweek friendly pits a clinical young side against a scrappy, proven outfit. 🔥
Stuttgart II has steamrolled their last two (4-0, 3-2), while Würzburg just took an L to Köln but bounced back with a 4-1 demolition job last time out. Youth pace vs. seasoned grit — classic recipe.
Key storylines:
- **Stuttgart II's attack** has been relentless; expect **Bujupi** and **Akaegbobi** to probe Würzburg's back five early
- **Würzburg's defensive shape** (5-3-2) is built for transition — **Hipper** in goal will need sharp distribution to break Stuttgart's press
- Midfield battle between **Majchrzak** and **Sessa** versus **Kinsombi** and **Ochs** could set the tone for tempo
Expected lineups:
- **VfB Stuttgart II U21**: Draband, Groiss, Janjic, Preu, Nothnagel, Majchrzak, Sessa, Stange, Kenmoe, Bujupi, Akaegbobi
- **FC Würzburger Kickers**: Hipper, Farahnah, Hägele, Eberle, Abrangao, Omore, Kinsombi, Ochs, Meisel, Bonga, Evina
