UEFA Champions League
A late goal dampened Stuttgart's hopes over the weekend, resulting in a 0:1 loss away to Hamburger. Thus, in the Bundesliga, they find themselves in an unenviable 13th place after the first six rounds. At least in the Champions League, they have won both of their matches so far, scoring three goals against Viking and Slovan Bratislava, but now they face a much tougher test against Atletico. Stuttgart has achieved six victories in their last nine home matches in Europe.
Good form and winning streak for AtleticoA late goal delighted Atletico Madrid on Saturday, winning 1:0 in their away match against Espanyol. This was the team's sixth consecutive victory in all competitions. Against Espanyol, Simeone made several rotations to refresh the squad. In the Champions League, they have had a tougher schedule than Stuttgart and lost 1:2 away to Liverpool, but won 2:0 at home against Manchester United last week. Interestingly, the last time Atletico recorded two consecutive clean sheets in the Champions League was six years ago.
Prediction: both teams to scoreAt least as hosts, I think Stuttgart can create some problems for Atletico, and why not score a goal, so I lean towards the option of both teams finding the net in the match.
