HTH
This will be the first match between Stuttgart and Porto.
Stuttgart Strong at Home
Stuttgart got past Celtic in the Europa League playoffs, winning 4-1 in Scotland before a 1-0 defeat in Germany. They had 24-4 shots and 2.12-0.30 xG in the second leg.
Sebastian Hoeness’ side are fighting for third spot in the Bundesliga. Their previous home game ended in a 4-0 win against Wolfsburg, Jamie Leweling scoring twice to make it 11 goals for the season.
The Swabians are coming off a 2-2 draw at Mainz, Deniz Undav assisting Ermedin Demirovic before scoring to take a 2-1 lead. They conceded the equaliser in the 91st minute.
Hoeness admitted his side had some luck: “We gave away gifts today. Just like with the first goal we conceded. But the gifts weren't accepted.
“We had two turnovers that you simply can't afford, especially against Mainz, who are always waiting for those turnovers. So we were lucky to stay in the game.”
Porto Face Third Straight Road Trip
Porto failed to win in their opening two matches in February before reeling off three straight victories.
Narrow 1-0 wins against Nacional and Rio Ave were followed by a 3-1 victory against Arouca. Oskar Pietuszewski opened the scoring after 13 seconds but they required two added time goals to take all three points.
The Dragons suffered a 1-0 defeat at Sporting in the Portuguese Cup semi-final first leg, ending with 0.33-2.32 xG in Lisbon.
Francesco Farioli’s side took a 2-0 half-time lead at Benfica on Sunday but were unable to hold on. They were under heavy pressure and conceded the equaliser in the 88th minute.
The manager was disappointed with the second half performance: “We controlled the game and dominated possession in the first half, but in the second half we lacked effectiveness in front of goal.
“That kept the opposition in the game and, with the quality they have, we paid the price. That's the way it is. It's a shame we didn't get the three points, but it's very important to change our mindset and start thinking about the next game.”

Pablo Rosario and Terem Moffi will be hoping to start in Germany.
Verdict
Porto have been below their best on the road in the Europa League and Stuttgart do their best work at home. Deniz Undav is in fine form and backed to fire the Bundesliga side to victory.
