VfB Stuttgart

Sebastian Hoeneß's charges managed to defeat Italian giants Juventus away with a 1-0 scoreline in the last round. The Germans capitalized on an opponent's sending off and secured the victory in the dying moments of the match. As a result, VfB Stuttgart won a Champions League match for the first time since 2009 and, with four points, climbed to the 18th spot in the standings. Defender Dan-Axel Zagadou will miss the game due to injury. - The club has a 16-match unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga (11 wins, 5 draws). - At least three goals were scored in 7 of the last 8 home matches in the German championship. - Stuttgart players scored exactly once in regular time in their last three Champions League encounters.

Atalanta

In the last round, Gian Piero Gasperini's men failed to break down Scottish side Celtic at home (0:0). Atalanta made 22 shots and significantly outperformed the opponent in xG (2.38 to 0.26), but could not convert any of their chances. Consequently, the team, with five points, is placed 17th in the standings. Midfielder Marco Brescianini and striker Gianluca Scamacca will miss the game due to injuries. - The team has not won in regular time in 6 of their last 7 Champions League matches (4 draws, 2 losses). - Both opponents scored within 90 minutes in 4 of the last 5 away European cup matches for the club. - The Italians conceded at least two goals in regular time in 4 of their last 5 away Champions League fixtures.

VfB Stuttgart vs. Atalanta: Match Prediction

Despite the Italians' strong performances in the recent Serie A matches, Gian Piero Gasperini's charges don't look as confident in the Champions League. Moreover, Atalanta has only managed one regular-time win in their last five away encounters (2 draws, 2 losses). On the other hand, Stuttgart has been formidable at home in the Bundesliga and has not lost on home turf since November last year. In their home match of the Champions League Group Stage Round 2, the Germans held Sparta Prague to a 1:1 draw. I would also note the high scoring potential of both teams. Stuttgart has scored in each of the three Champions League matches this season, and in the Bundesliga, the club boasts a home scoring streak lasting 25 matches. Atalanta, in Serie A, has hit the back of the net at least twice in seven of their last eight matches. I expect a strong resistance from the hosts, as well as an aggressive attacking game from both sides. My prediction: "1X and Both Teams to Score – Yes" with odds of 2.00. Author:
