Head to Head

Stuttgart aims to return to winning ways in the Champions League.


Their recent losses—a heavy 5:1 defeat away to Crvena Zvezda and a 0:2 loss at home to Atalanta—have served as a wake-up call, prompting much-needed improvements. Stuttgart has since raised their performance levels and started to resemble the dominant side they were last season.


That said, they are contending with injury challenges, missing key players such as Leweling, Undav, Zagadou, and Touré.

Despite these setbacks, Stuttgart finds themselves in a favorable position as they face one of the weakest away teams in the Champions League, Young Boys.


The Swiss side thrives on their artificial turf, where they typically secure most of their points. Yet, their performances away from home have been poor. In their two away matches in the Champions League so far, they have suffered two losses, conceding seven goals while managing to score just once.

With their renewed form and the advantage of facing a struggling Young Boys side, Stuttgart is well-positioned to secure a crucial victory.

What we say

Stuttgart to Win


The home side started to perform better in the Bundesliga, and that will translate to this game. We expect Stuttgart to be possession-oriented and to create most of the chances for scoring in this match; that would not be that hard against the second worst defense in this season's Champions League that conceded 17 goals in 5 matches and has zero points in the standings.
