The hosts, who had lost their four previous Champions League league phase matches this season, had last won in Europe's premier competition in October 2019 when they beat Olympiacos 3-1. Stuttgart's only win in this season's campaign remains their 1-0 victory over Juventus on matchday three.

Red Star have shown flashes of promise and should belatedly pick up their first point, but Stuttgart will surely breach their hosts' leaky back line at least once. For data analysis of the most likely results, scorelines and more for this match please click here.
