Galatasaray vs VfB Stuttgart Preview, prediction, injury news & lineups | Champions League 2026-27

This will be the first-ever outing between these clubs.

Galatasaray Spor Kulübü will go head-to-head against VfB Stuttgart for their fourth league phase contest of the UEFA Champions League 2026-27 campaign. This outing is set to take place at RAMS Park.

The Lions suffered a 3-1 loss in their opening UCL game against Sporting CP. They then fell to FC Barcelona, but came out on top with a 4-2 victory against Lyon in their recent European competition outing. Based on their recent performances, Galatasaray need to work hard in defence to continue their winning run.

The Okan Buruk-led side have not been the most consistent team this season, but being at home will give them some advantage for their next one.

After a bunch of underwhelming performances, VfB Stuttgart have now secured back-to-back wins in their last two games domestically. After securing wins in their first two games of the UEFA Champions League this season, they were held to a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid in their last one.

Sebastian Hoeneß’s men are unbeaten in the European competition as of now. They will be away from home for their upcoming fixture but will be gearing up to put up a strong fight.

Players to Watch

Victor Osimhen (Galatasaray)

The Nigerian forward is all set to play an important role in the attacking front for Galatasaray. He will be once again deployed as the sole striker for his side. Victor Osimhen has only scored one goal in the Champions League this season, but his presence is going to be key for the Turkish giants.

Ermedin Demirović (VfB Stuttgart)

Ermedin Demirović delivered a sensational performance for VfB Stuttgart in their 4-2 win against Bayer Leverkusen in the recent Bundesliga clash.
