"Stuttgart will certainly be excited by their overall success at the MHPArena. Last seen in front of their own supporters storming their way to a 4-0 romp against Wolfsburg, Thursday's hosts have won each of their other four showdowns in Baden-Wurttemberg. It should also be noted, the Reds have suffered just a sole defeat at the MHPArena across any competition since the start of December."
"Enjoying what has been nothing sensational run this season and already notching 19 goals across all competitions, German international and ex-Brighton striker Deniz Undav will play a leading role in the final third. Reportedly attracting a string of heavyweight European admirers, Angelo Stiller will start in the middle of the park."
"Although Stuttgart might have struggled to find much stability over the past month, Sebastian Hoeneb's side did extend on their Europa League charge thanks to a dramatic 4-2 aggregate win against Scottish giants Celtic. With their sights firmly set on securing a lucrative Champions League ticket in 2026, Die Roten will know the importance of claiming a first-leg advantage on Thursday evening."
Stuttgart welcomes Porto to the MHPArena for a Europa League Round of 16 first-leg match on Thursday evening. Stuttgart recently advanced past Celtic with a 4-2 aggregate victory and aims to secure a first-leg advantage to strengthen their Champions League qualification prospects for 2026. The hosts have demonstrated strong home form, winning four of their last five matches at the MHPArena and suffering only one defeat there since December. Stuttgart will be without defender Josha Vagnoman due to injury but will have midfielder Bilal El Khannouss available after serving a domestic suspension. Striker Deniz Undav, who has scored 19 goals across all competitions this season, will lead Stuttgart's offensive efforts alongside midfielder Angelo Stiller.
