Stuttgart defeated Juventus 1-0 in their last Champions League fixture
Atalanta have kept clean sheets in all three Champions League games this season
This is the first competitive meeting between the two sides
Tight, low-scoring affair expected in Stuttgart
Both Stuttgart and Atalanta have impressed in the early exchanges of the campaign and the form of the two sides could see them cancel each other out when they meet at the MHPArena on Wednesday evening.
Die Roten have lost just one of their last 10 matches in all competitions and Sebastian Hoeness’s men remain unbeaten at home, holding Sparta Prague to a 1-1 draw in their sole fixture in front of their own fans in Europe.
La Dea meanwhile are unbeaten in eight matches across all competitions – including their three Champions League assignments so far – and they emphatically won 3-0 at Serie A leaders Napoli last time out.
Both sides are in strong form and it is difficult to choose a winner in this contest. Each of Stuttgart’s last two in this competition have seen winners in the under 2.5 goals market while the same is true of tow of Atlanta’s three European ties. Another low-scoring encounter could be in store, with our prediction being a 1-1 draw in Germany.
