Juventus will take on VfB Stuttgart in the UEFA Champions League league stage at the Allianz Stadium on Tuesday. It will be the third match of the campaign for both sides.

Juventus have had a good start to their campaign under new manager Thiago Motta. They are still unbeaten across competitions and sit second in Serie A with four wins and four draws.

Dusan Vlahovic has been in excellent form this season for Juventus. He has scored seven goals and provided one assist in 10 games across competitions. He’s registered two goals and one assist in two Champions League games, with both goals coming against RB Leipzig.

Vlahovic has scored five goals in his last four games across competitions and will look to continue his prolific form going against Stuttgart.

This season, Demirovic has scored five goals in seven league games and is Stuttgart’s top scorer.

Juventus vs Stuttgart Prediction

Juventus have had a perfect start to the 2024-25 Champions League campaign with two wins in two games and sit seventh in the league table. They will be keen to get into the knockout stages directly by finishing in the top eight and avoid the playoffs.

Thiago Motta’s side are unbeaten across competitions this season and have three wins in their last five games and two draws. They beat a 10-man Lazio 1-0 at home in Serie A in their previous game. However, they are dealing with numerous injury issues.

Stuttgart, meanwhile, suffered a massive 4-0 hammering at the hands of Bayern Munich away in their last match in the Bundesliga. They are without a win in their last five games across competitions, with four draws and one defeat.

In their last Champions League game, Stuttgart drew 1-1 against Sparta Praha. Juventus, meanwhile, came down from 2-1 down to win 3-2 against RB Leipzig despite being down to 10 men. They should be able to continue that streak against another German side on Tuesday.

Predicted Score: Juventus 2-1 Stuttgart
