Slovan Bratislava vs Stuttgart Tips & Predictions – Champions League Upset in Slovakia
Stuttgart's recent away form has been shaky, with two losses in their last three games and defensive vulnerabilities exposed against Paderborn. The article sees potential for Slovan to capitalize on these weaknesses and recommends considering Slovan to score. Additionally, backing Slovan to avoid defeat is suggested as a secondary option, reflecting confidence in Slovan's chances in the upcoming match.
- Slovan Bratislava rarely lose at home this season
- Stuttgart are having a lot of problems keeping their net intact

Stuttgart's back line is having a lot of problems this season, especially on the road, so I don't view them as massive favorites for this clash. I think backing Slovan in the double chance market is a value bet.

This Will Be Their 4th Head to Head Meeting
These two sides battled in the Europa League qualifiers in 2010, while also locking horns in the Champions League last season.
Slovan Having Mixed Results in Slovakia
After making their way to the UCL main stage through the qualifiers, Slovan Bratislava were crushed by the reigning champions PSG 6-1 in the opening round, Suleiman Camara scoring a consolation.
Yaya Toure's side is also having a lot of problems with inconsistency in the Slovakian top flight, grabbing 17 points in nine matches and currently sit in 4th place with a six-point deficit from the leaders Dunajska Streda.
After the international break, they returned to action last weekend with a disappointing 1-1 draw against Skalica, Andraz Sporar missing a penalty in the second half.
Late September Was Rough for the Swabians
Stuttgart justified role of heavy favorites in the Champions League opening round against Viking, beating the Norwegian champions 3-1 at home with Ermedin Demirovic scoring a hat-trick in 32 minutes.
Sebastian Hoeness' side hit a rough patch in the Bundesliga right after this victory, registering back to back defeats against Hoffenheim 2-1 and Borussia Dortmund 1-0.
They returned to winning ways last weekend with a 2-0 road victory against Paderborn. The Swabians' defensive performance was far from ideal here, allowing 1.96 xG and 24 shots to the opposition.

Verdict
Stuttgart have lost two of their last three away games and allowed Paderborn plenty of chances last weekend. I like Slovan's chances of scoring here, while backing them to avoid defeat with a smaller stake is also worth considering.
