Crvena Zvezda

Vladan Milojević's side suffered a 2-5 defeat at home to Spain's Barcelona in the last round. This loss marked their fourth consecutive defeat and ninth in their last ten Champions League matches. Additionally, the team has conceded at least four goals in their last three games in this tournament. The Serbian side has no points and sits second to last in the standings, ahead of Bratislava's Slovan only on goal difference. Moreover, they have conceded the most goals in the group stage – 16.

Defenders Ognjen Mijović and Aden Avdić, midfielders Nemanja Radonjić and Mirko Ivanić, as well as forwards Peter Olayinka and Bruno Duarte, will miss the match due to injuries.

• The team has not won in regular time in 6 of their last 7 home matches in the Champions League (2 draws, 4 losses).
• At least three goals have been scored in 12 of their last 14 Champions League matches.
• Both teams scored in 11 of Crvena Zvezda's last 14 matches in this European competition.

Stuttgart

In the previous round, Sebastian Hoeneß's side was defeated 0-2 at home by Italy's Atalanta. As a result, Stuttgart suffered their second defeat in this Champions League campaign and failed to score for the first time. The Germans have only four points, placing them 27th in the standings, outside the playoff zone.

Defenders Ameen Al-Dakhil and Dan-Axel Zagadou, forwards Deniz Undav, Jamie Leweling, and El Bilal Touré will miss the game due to injuries.

• The club has not won in 6 of their last 8 away matches in the Bundesliga (3 draws, 3 losses).
• Exactly four goals have been scored in 5 of their last 7 away Bundesliga games.
• Stuttgart has not scored more than once in their last four Champions League matches.

Crvena Zvezda vs. Stuttgart: Match Prediction

At home, the Serbs tend to play openly against opponents of any level. Crvena Zvezda's scoring record in home Champions League matches is impressive: the team has scored in regular time in their last 11 games, and in eight of those, they scored at least twice. However, this style of play also leads to numerous defensive errors: in 6 of their last 7 home matches in this European competition, the Serbs have conceded at least two goals.

Stuttgart has shown decent attacking form since returning to the Champions League, scoring in 3 of their 4 matches. Notably, the Germans faced three tough opponents during this period: Real Madrid, Juventus, and Atalanta. However, they have struggled defensively, conceding six goals in the group stage.

I expect to see a high-scoring match in this encounter, so my prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
