Command Analysis

Real Madrid

Current form
Real Madrid had a brilliant last season. They managed to confidently win La Liga and the Champions League. In addition, the "creamy" team also won the Spanish Super Cup. It should be noted that over the past 11 seasons, the Madrid team has won the main European club tournament six times.
In the summer, Kylian Mbappe finally joined the Galacticos. It seemed that the team would have no equal at the start of the new season. However, in practice, Carlo Ancelotti's charges are having a very difficult time entering the season. Five rounds in Primera are behind them, and they have already lost points twice - in matches with Mallorca (1:1) and Las Palmas (1:1). As a result, their main rival Barcelona is already ahead with a gap of four points.
However, it is worth noting the progress in the game and results. Thus, in the last two rounds with the same score 2:0, Real dealt with Betis and Real Sociedad and is approaching the start of the Champions League in a good mood.
Disqualifications and injuries
Alaba, Diaz, Ceballos, Camavinga are all injured and will not play today. Billingham and Tchouameni are in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Real Madrid have won 11 of their last 13 games on shots on target
- Los Blancos have not lost in regulation time in their last 13 home matches in the Champions League
- In five of Real's previous seven home games, both teams to score were bets
Probable line-up : Courtois - Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy - Valverde, Modric - Rodrygo, Guler, Vinicius - Mbappe.

VfB Stuttgart

Current form
Stuttgart became one of the discoveries of the last season in the Bundesliga, taking second place. They failed to overtake only Bayer, while Bayern remained behind. Unfortunately for the fans, they were unable to keep the team together. The main loss was the departure of Serrou Guirassy to Borussia Dortmund. However, the same Deniz Undav, who had 19+10 goals+passes last season, remained in the team.
Overall, https://www.vfb.de/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stuttgart still looks very convincing in attack, having scored seven goals in the first three rounds of the Bundesliga. However, the defensive play of Sebastian Hoeneß's team raises many questions - seven goals conceded.
The Swabians are approaching the upcoming trip to Madrid in high spirits, as they won 3-1 away from home against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the last round. It should be noted that Stuttgart has returned to the Champions League for the first time since the 2009/10 season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Al-Dakhil, Narti, Sturgiu, Kretzig are injured and will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Stuttgart have lost six of their last seven matches due to offsides
- Eight of the Swabians' previous ten matches have seen goals exchanged
Estimated line-up : Nubel – Wagnoman, Chase, Shabo, Mittelstadt – Leveling, Karazor, Stiller, Rieder – Demirovic, Undav.

2.70Tip and bets
Real Madrid did not enter the season with much confidence, but gradually improved and today at the start of the Champions League will try to please the fans not only with a victory, but also with a bright, productive game. The opponent is just right for us to see a lot of goals, first of all. Stuttgart has definitely not become stronger than last year, but still plays bold attacking football and concedes a lot. We believe that the optimal bet on the game will be an exchange of goals scored.
Our prediction is both teams to score at odds of 1.71
Bet on the outcome
With a high degree of probability, the game today will be open and productive. In such a duel, the individual skill of the players decides a lot. In this regard, the hosts have an undoubted advantage.
The second bet is Real Madrid win with Asian handicap (-1.5) with odds of 1.83
Bet on the first half
We recommend paying attention to the fact that Real Madrid did not force events on the field in recent matches, but rather "squeezed" their opponents in the second 45 minutes. At the same time, in three of the four previous matches between the Madrid team, a draw was recorded in the first half, which we do not rule out today.
Betting Tip - draw in the first half with odds of 3.00
