Game Preview
Stuttgart has injury problems, and that was what stopped their four-game victorious streak last weekend. Die Schwaben lost on the road in Mains, 2-0, the first time since December 21, and a defeat at home to St. Pauli, 0-1.
This team plays open-minded, offensive football. They aren’t great at protecting the net, but Stuttgart has a solid offensive potential. Also, matches this unit plays at home are engaging and efficient, with seven of the previous 10 ending with over 2.5 goals.
PSG is in solid shape, having not lost for the past 12 games. They had nine consecutive victories until the previous weekend when the Saints failed to beat Reims. It was the surprise of the round, with the guests managing to withstand the pressure at Parc des Princes and take one point, 1-1.
Their 4-2 victory over Manchester City boosted the unit’s morale. Let’s remember that City had a 0-2 lead before PSG’s push saw them demolish the English champions with four hits in a row.
Stuttgart vs. Manchester City Head to Head
This will be the first meeting ever between these two units.
Stuttgart vs. Manchester City Prediction
Stuttgart is aggressive at home, so we expect to see a high-scoring affair here. Our pick for this event is over 2.5 goals, even though many believe this could be a “fixed” game, with a draw being the final outcome. That would probably secure these two teams in the next stage. However, nobody wants to play with its reputation, and we expect a clear and honest approach on the field.
