Earns assist
Pejcinovic assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 3-2 defeat against Monchengladbach.
Analysis: Pejcinovic would help score the first goal of the match before Stuttgart's eventual loss, with the forward finding Ermedin Demirovic for a goal in the fifth minute. This is his first goal contribution of the season, taking seven appearances to reach that mark. He hopes this can earn him more time, playing more of a rotational role this season.
Shares striker duties
Pejcinovic has made five appearances across all competitions this season, including three starts, as part of the attacking rotation.
Analysis: Pejcinovic has shared playing time with Ermedin Demirovic in attack, giving him regular opportunities without establishing himself as the undisputed starter. He has attempted nine shots and created three chances across his five appearances but remains without a goal. His three starts underline his place in the rotation, though the competition with Demirovic could continue to produce fluctuating minutes.
Scores hat trick in cup win
Pejcinovic scored a hat trick in VfB Stuttgart's 4-0 win over FC Hansa Rostock in the first round of the DFB-Pokal.
Analysis: Pejcinovic delivered a standout scoring display in cup play shortly after joining Stuttgart on a transfer from Wolfsburg. This performance could help his case for a larger attacking role as he enters a tough competition with Deniz Undav and Ermedin Demirovic. The new signing had notched eight goals over 30 appearances in the2025/26 Bundesliga campaign, and the Pokal hat trick was the third of his career considering first-division and cup play, making him an exciting young attacking option for the upcoming season.
Signs with VfB through 2031
Pejcinovic signed a contract with VfB Stuttgart through June 2031 after departing Wolfsburg, the club announced.
Analysis: Pejcinovic scored 12 goals across 39 competitive matches for Wolfsburg, including a hat trick against Freiburg in December, and previously spent a season on loan at Fortuna Dusseldorf, contributing five goals across 19 second division matches and one DFB Pokal appearance. Pejcinovic is expected to gradually earn more playing time as the season progresses.
Scores in victory to qualify
Pejcinovic scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 victory over FC St. Pauli.
Analysis: Pejcinovic added Wolfsburg's third goal in the 80th minute, calmly finishing to make it 3-1 and effectively lock in a crucial three points in their Bundesliga survival fight. He also produced four shots (three on target) and created two chances across 89 minutes, constantly troubling St. Pauli's back three with his direct, aggressive running. Pejcinovic will aim to make an impact again in Thursday's first leg of the Bundesliga playoff as Wolfsburg push to secure their place in the top flight.
