VFB Stuttgart Season 2022 Match 18


RB Leipzig – VfB Stuttgart

Date: 27th January 2023, 8:30 pm

Result: 2 – 1

This is the 18th game, i.e. the beginning of the second half of the season. VfB Stuttgart has to face the same 17 opponents again in order. Can Stuttgart do better this time? Evidently not. The first game against Leipzig was a draw, but VfB lost the second game. This means Stuttgart has gently slipped back into the league's cellar (the bottom four places in the table).

I didn't even know the match was taking place yesterday. I got the dates mixed up, I thought it was today. I only realised the game was being played when the result popped up on my television in the middle of "Fast and Furious 8". That shows how much my feelings for the team are evaporating. Things have to change fast. Stuttgart needs to win the next two games, against Werder Bremen on 5th February (while I'm at the Stuttgart film festival) and SC Freinburg on 11th February. Then I'll be happy again.
