In the Bundesliga encounter between VfB Stuttgart (Home team) and VfL Wolfsburg (Away team) that took place on October 7, 2023, we saw an impactful game full of twists and turns. The Home team emerged victorious with a scoreline of 3-1. While the first half of the match was dominated by Wolfsburg as they scored their only goal of the game, the second half saw a brilliant comeback from Stuttgart scoring three goals which secured their win.

One of the key elements in this game was the Home team's unmatched resilience and ability to react in the second half, which allowed them to reverse the adverse score. By using their corner kick opportunities judiciously, Stuttgart managed to increase their scoring. Despite having one less corner kick than Wolfsburg (5 vs 6), they delivered a more effective performance in terms of goal conversion.

Another significant aspect was the discipline issues in the VfL Wolfsburg squad. Accumulating three yellow cards overall, two in the first half and one in the second half, this high count may have caused a disruption in their team tactics, impacting their game strategy and forcing them to play more conservatively to avoid any red card dismissals.

It is also noteworthy that Stuttgart found a significant edge in exploiting the offside trap, with the away team caught offside 0 times. On the contrary, the home team got flagged for offside 4 times. The successful play of the defensive linemen in Wolfsburg’s team against the offside tactics of Stuttgart suggests they had a better defensive organization, but it just wasn’t enough to secure them a win.

In terms of fouls, both teams were closely matched, making it a physically intense contest with the Home team accumulating 13 fouls, only one less than the away team.

All these subtle but influential statistical parameters contributed significantly to the match outcome, illustrating how important team discipline, utilisation of set pieces and defensive strategies can be in turning the tide in one team’s favour. Although VfL Wolfsburg initially led, the resilience, strategic execution and discipline of VfB Stuttgart ultimately dictated the final outcome.
