Overview
Juventus had a hard-fought victory over Lazio in Serie A last weekend. This important victory helps them continue to maintain their impressive form in the new 2024-2025 season.
In Serie A, Juventus is ranked 2nd after Napoli, and in the Champions League, they won all 2 first matches.
In contrast to Juventus, Stuttgart entered this match in poor form. They had just lost 0-4 to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. In the Champions League, Stuttgart also showed disappointment. They lost to Real Madrid in the first match, then were held to a draw by weaker opponents Sparta Prague at home.
Stuttgart have clearly weakened compared to last season. The Bundesliga representative is going through a series of 5 consecutive matches without knowing the taste of victory, at the same time risking being eliminated from the Champions League group stage. Meanwhile, Juventus is full of enthusiasm with 3 wins in the last 4 matches.
If they beat Stuttgart at home, Juventus will have the perfect start to their quest for a ticket straight to the round of 16. With their superior strength, the Turin team will certainly aim for a convincing victory.
Dusan Vlahovic scored twice in Juventus' win over RB Leipzig in the second round of the Champions League group stage. The Serbian has also scored three goals in his last three Serie A appearances and is highly expected.
This will be the first time Juventus and Stuttgart have faced each other. Juventus will have more confidence after beating another Bundesliga side, Leipzig.
Human resources situation
Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio is suspended after being sent off against RB Leipzig, while Arkadiusz Milik, Bremer, Nico Gonzalez and Teun Koopmeiners are all absent through injury.

Expected lineup:
