Baden-Württemberg: High hurdle for VfB at the start of the league: Kalajdzic back

Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - The new season of the Bundesliga starts for VfB Stuttgart today (3.30 p.m. / DAZN) with a difficult home game. The Swabians are expecting the DFB Cup winner and Champions League starter RB Leipzig in their arena, which is currently being renovated. The Saxons are extremely variable, warned VfB coach Pellegrino Matarazzo. Unlike in the cup game at Dynamo Dresden a week ago, the 44-year-old can again plan with goalscorer Sasa Kalajdzic. The new striker Luca Pfeiffer is also an option, said Matarazzo. Full-back Borna Sosa, on the other hand, is not yet available. As of Friday afternoon, around 46,000 spectators are expected.
