Stuttgart

Having fallen apart at the weekend, starting with the hosts, and eventually losing 1-0 at the hands of Hamburger who eventually returned to the Bundesliga, Stuttgart have shown some real inconsistencies since the opening of the 2026/27 campaign. Nevertheless, despite struggling to find much domestic stability since the opening of the 2026/27 campaign, Die Roten continue their Champions League adventure with real gusto. Sebastian Höneb’s team won back-to-back European victories with a 3-1 win over Norway’s “Viking” on September 9 and are aiming to advance to the true knockout stage this year. Despite a heavyweight fightback at the MHPArena on Tuesday night, Saturday afternoon’s 1-0 defeat against Hamburger SV is Stuttgart’s only defeat in their previous three outings in all competitions.

Stuttgart Team News

With a stacked injury list, Stuttgart will be without the likes of Ameen Al Dakhil, Justin Diehl, Maximilian Mittelstadt, Dan-Axel Zagadou and Portuguese striker Thiago Thomas again on Tuesday evening.

Deniz Undav, the German national team and attacking talisman, who opened the Champions League score last week away at “Slovan Bratislava”, will play a leading role in the final third. Now in his second campaign at the MHPArena, former Leicester City youngster Bilal El Khannouss will join Undav in attack.

Atletico Madrid

As for the visitors, Atletico Madrid, who put their first win on the board last week with a 2-0 win over Manchester United in the Champions League, have had plenty of trouble either side of the September international break. Diego Simeone’s men bounced back from a slow start, last seen at the weekend with a dramatic 1-0 away win over Espanyol. Heading into September’s extended international break with a 2-1 win over arch-rivals Real Madrid, the visitors are riding a serious wave of momentum on Tuesday. In fact, Atletico have won each of their previous six games in a row in all competitions and will be excited to travel to Germany in midweek. Simeone’s team, who are in silver medal position among Spain’s elite, have also conceded just one pair of goals in their six-game winning streak.

Atletico Madrid, who missed out again on Saturday with a muscle problem, are again sweating on the fitness of midfield talisman Koke here. However, aside from their long-serving captain, Simeone’s side have been given a clean bill of health ahead of Tuesday’s trip to Germany.

Spain’s Alex Baena, who scored a dramatic last-gasp win at Espanyol away at the weekend and now has eight direct goal contributions (five goals, three assists) in all competitions this season, will be a full recall. Finally, Julian Alvarez, who remains in Madrid after a dramatic summer transfer saga, will lead Atletico’s attack.
