Full time: VfB Stuttgart 3-1 Wolfsburg

Serhou Guirassy extended his spectacular, record-breaking form with a hat-trick that helped VfB Stuttgart to come from behind against Wolfsburg and claim a win that sent the Swabians to the top of the provisional standings. Trailing to Yannick Gerhardt's first-half goal, the hosts turned things around after the break with Guirassy grabbing three goals in 15 second-half minutes to take his tally to 13 goals after the opening seven games, a new Bundesliga record.

Guirassy the history maker!

What a great Bundesliga moment. Serhou Guriassy puts Stuttgart into the lead - becoming the first man in Bundesliga history to score 12 goals after seven matches of a season! Führich dribbled to the edge of the box and threaded a pass through for Guirassy to run around Casteels and convert from close range.

Stuttgart eye summit

After five wins out of six to start the season with, another victory at home today would take Stuttgart top of the table until when Leverkusen play tomorrow at least. That won't be easy against a Wolfsburg side with Jonas Wind - who has scored seven goals so far, second to only Stuttgart's Serhou Guirassy.

Guirassy vs Wind: Battle of the in-form strikers

Each side has been led by an in-form striker in the early stages of the campaign. No player has scored more goals than Serhou Guirassy's 10 - he bagged those across the first five games, equalling Robert Lewandowski's record - while Jonas Wind has found the back of the net seven times for Wolfsburg.

Watch: Stuttgart 0-1 Wolfsburg - previous meeting

In March, as Stuttgart looked to beat the drop and Wolfsburg pushed for European qualification, Omar Marmoush's second-half strike was all that separated the two sides.

Head-to-head

Wolfsburg have had the better of this match-up in recent meetings, winning four of the last six. Stuttgart's last victory, meanwhile, came in 2021, when they prevailed 2-0. They last beat Die Wölfe at home in 2019, though, and will be looking to break that four-game drought here.

Stuttgart: the surprise package

Few would expected Die Schwaben to sit second in the table after six matchdays, yet here we are. Sebastian Hoeneß has revitalised the side after only just avoiding relegation last term - they needed a relegation play-off win over Hamburg to secure their top-tier status - even following the sales of key players such as Konstantinos Mavropanos, Borna Sosa and Endō. Only Leverkusen and Bayern (20) have netted more than their 19 goals, while they are enjoying their best start to a season in 27 years.

Resurgent Wolfsburg

Niko Kovač's team have been quietly taking care of business so far this campaign. With four wins and two defeats from their six games, they sit seventh in the table with 12 points to their name. There have been impressive victories over Union Berlin and Frankfurt and, although they lost to Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim, both those teams have also looked good thus far. A win away at Stuttgart would be a further boost to their top-four credentials.
