Command Analysis
Slovan Bratislava
SlovakiaCurrent form
For objective reasons, Slovan was unable to set too ambitious goals for himself in the Champions League – in terms of player selection, Vladimir Weiss’s team is inferior to almost all representatives of the league stage, and in terms of experience at this level as well. The sky-blues started with a crushing 1:5 defeat to Celtic away, which was not a surprise.
The more prestigious Manchester City (0:4) and Girona (0:2) also left no chance for Slovan , but with Dinamo Zagreb (1:4) there was a chance to fight for at least a draw, but another rout happened. As expected, they managed to get points in the matches against Milan (2:3) and Atletico (1:3) – the penultimate place in the table reflects the performance of the Slovakian champion in the tournament as a whole.
In the Slovak championship, Slovan has traditionally been considered the main contender for the championship title and has lived up to this status without any particular problems so far. With 44 points, the sky-blues lead the tournament table, but are only three points behind second-placed Zilina, while third-placed Spartak from Trnava is eight points behind and does not pose a serious threat yet.

Adler and Kutska are injured.
Interesting trends for betting

- Slovan has scored in his last 12 matches
- Slovan have conceded more than one goal in each of their six Champions League matches

VfB Stuttgart
GermanyCurrent form
Stuttgart certainly set themselves the goal of getting into the playoffs following the league stage – it was very difficult to fight for the top eight, but the selection of players allowed them to set themselves the goal of finishing no lower than 24th place. Sebastien Hoeness team started with a 1:3 defeat to Real in Madrid, and in the second round they lost points in Prague, drawing 1:1 with Sparta.
Stuttgart achieved their first victory in a sensational way, beating Juventus 1-0 in Turin, but they failed to build on their success. Two defeats in a row to Atalanta (0-2) and Crvena Zvezda (1-5) cast doubt on the Swabians' ability to fight for the playoffs. However, a crushing 5-1 victory over Young Boys in the final round helped them rise to 26th place, and are a modest one-point behind 24th-placed Dinamo Zagreb.
In the Bundesliga, Stuttgart clearly expected to fight for a place in the top four and, overall, the selection of players allowed them to repeat the success of last season. At the moment, the Swabians occupy fourth place in the table with 32 points, but are only one point ahead of Leipzig. Having beaten Freiburg 4:0 in the last round, Stuttgart won their third victory in a row and already their ninth this season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Zagadou, Toure and Raymund are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Stuttgart have won their last three matches
- Stuttgart have conceded in five of their six Champions League matches
- Stuttgart have managed to score in all six Champions League matches
Estimated line-up: Nübel – Wagnoman, Chabot, Rouault, Mittelstadt – Milhaud, Karazor, Stiller, Fuhrikh – Undav, Demirovic.

2.05Tip and bets
Stuttgart is currently only in 26th place in the table and today match is of exceptional importance for the Swabians - a victory can secure a place in the top 24, and losing points in light of the upcoming match against a motivated PSG away would be a disaster. It is obvious that the Germans are the undisputed favorites of the match, having a huge advantage over Slovan in class and experience - it is unlikely that the sky-blues will be able to avoid a seventh defeat in a row, the forces are too unequal, and Stuttgart has recently improved significantly.
We think that the hosts have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-2) on Stuttgart . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.05
Bet on total
Stuttgart will certainly be in a very determined mood today, and will undoubtedly attack with a large force from the first minutes. It is unlikely that Slovan, who have conceded 21 goals in the previous six Champions League matches, will be able to suddenly transform today and work miracles in defense. However, the sky-blues play very boldly even against opponents who are superior to them in class and today is unlikely to make an exception - the Swabians concede regularly and a goal from the hosts will not be a big sensation.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.89
Combined rate
For Stuttgart today is the first final in the league stage – a win could help them break into the playoff zone, while a defeat would most likely deprive them of their chances. It is obvious that the Swabians will have plenty of motivation and today Slovan is unlikely to perform a miracle, the opponent is already too superior in experience and class. At the same time, Slovan has absolutely nothing to lose, the hosts are quite capable of responding with one goal.
The bet is Stuttgart win and both teams will score. This bet is offered for 2.50
