VfB Stuttgart's impressive attacking duo.

VfB Stuttgart's impressive attacking duo.
Stuttgart currently boasts the second most dangerous attacking duo in Europe.

Stuttgart is one of the surprises of the season, currently sitting at 3rd place and in contention for Champions League football. Offensively, they are the third-highest scoring team in the league, only surpassed by Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, with the majority of these goals coming from the team's two strikers.

Serhau Guirassy:
◉ 14 games
◉ 17 goals 

Deniz Undav: 
◉ 17 games
◉ 13 goals 

Guirassy's scoring rate is impressive, and in the Bundesliga, he has scored every 62 minutes he has played, making him the best among all players. Guirassy has been absent in the last couple of games due to AFCON, but in the meantime, his teammate Undav has showcased his skills with 4 goals and 2 assists in the last two matches. Stuttgart's striking duo is actually the second most dangerous in Europe's top five leagues based on the number of goals.

Most scoring-duo's in Europes top five league: 
◉ Kane/Sane - 32 goals 
◉ Guirassy/Undav - 30 goals 
◉ Martinez/Calhanoglu - 28 goals 
◉ Mbappe/Muani - 25 goals 
◉ Morata/Griezmann - 24 goals 

Having such impressive names alongside the two Stuttgart attackers is noteworthy, and it's essential to acknowledge their excellent performances. Stuttgart seems to be doing something right offensively when you look at these statistics. Guirassy will be available to play again this weekend, so it will be interesting to see if they continue to play side by side or if the team opts for a single-striker formation, as they have done in the absence of Guirassy during AFCON.

Both are exceeding their expected goals (xG) this season, showcasing the sharpness they have displayed. Guirassy has an xG of 12.12, while Undav has one of 10.02 – impressive stats that must boost their confidence.
