"Starting with the hosts, while Stuttgart might have endured a stuttering start to proceedings when opening up the 2025/26 campaign, Die Roten have certainly turned a real corner on either side of opening the New Year. Getting 2026 underway with a major Bundesliga scalp as they stormed their way to an empathic 4-1 romp away at former champions Bayer Leverkusen, Sebastian Hoeneb's camp will be dreaming of a repeat display here."
"Skyrocketing their way up the top-flight standings, the Reds now have their sights firmly set on finding a route into the Champions League spots. With the mood around the MHPArena at a season-high, Stuttgart have registered 10 points from their previous four appearances across all competitions. Sat firmly in the driving seat to book a Europa League knockout stage ticket this year, Tuesday's hosts have also found a recent clinical edge in the final third."
Stuttgart recovered from an early stuttering start to the 2025/26 campaign and have turned a corner since the New Year. A 4-1 away win at Bayer Leverkusen began 2026 strongly and the team has collected 10 points from their previous four fixtures across all competitions. The club aims to reach Champions League places and sits well-placed to secure a Europa League knockout-stage berth. Dan-Axel Zagadou remains absent and Eliesse Ben Seghir is at AFCON. Angelo Stiller will start in midfield and Deniz Undav, with nine Bundesliga goals, leads the attack. Eintracht Frankfurt underperformed compared with last season's bronze finish.
