Slovan Bratislava

In the last round, Vladimir Weiss's side suffered a 1-3 defeat to Atletico. The club has now lost six matches in the Champions League group stage and has yet to earn a single point. The team is in 35th place in the standings and has no chance of reaching the playoffs. Notably, Slovan has conceded 21 goals in the group stage, a tally surpassed only by Young Boys with 22.

• At least four goals were scored in regular time in 6 of the team's last 7 matches in this tournament.
• Opponents scored at least twice in the first half in 4 of Slovan's last 5 Champions League games.
• The team conceded first in 5 of their last 6 matches in this European competition.

Stuttgart

In the sixth round of the group stage, the team thrashed Young Boys 5-1. This victory was the club's second in this Champions League campaign, with one draw and three losses in other matches. Sebastian Hoeneß's side is in 26th place in the standings and still has a decent chance of reaching the playoffs, as they are just one point behind the 24th spot.

• The team has not scored more than one goal in regular time in 5 of their last 6 matches in this tournament.
• The first half ended in a draw in 5 of Stuttgart's last 6 Champions League games.
• The number "1" appeared in the scoreline at the end of 90 minutes in 5 of the club's last 6 matches in this European competition.

Slovan Bratislava vs. Stuttgart: Match Prediction

Although the Slovak club has not pleased its fans with results in the current Champions League campaign, they often find the net. Slovan has scored in 6 of their last 8 matches in this tournament. Moreover, in their last two Champions League games, the club breached the defenses of such formidable opponents as Milan (2-3) and Atletico (1-3). However, Vladimir Weiss's side has clear defensive issues, having conceded in their last 8 matches in this tournament, and in 7 cases, at least twice.

Stuttgart's defense also lacks reliability, as they failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 Champions League matches. On the offensive side, things are better, with the club scoring in 5 of their last 6 games in this tournament. I anticipate that both teams will exchange goals in the upcoming match. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
