⁠Juventus vs VfB Stuttgart Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

This will be the first meeting between these two teams.

Round three of the UEFA Champions League is underway as Italian outfit Juventus are set to lock horns with debutant VfB Stuttgart at the Allianz Stadium aiming to secure their third straight victory on the road. 

Juventus have made a perfect start to the competition securing consecutive victories over Feyenoord and RB Leipzig. Bianconeri’s win over the German opposition was particularly eye-catching, having secured a thrilling win playing mostly with ten men for most of the game. Thiago Motta has worked wonders with this team as they are the only team to remain unbeaten this season in Serie A. 

Meanwhile, VfB Stuttgart are going through a difficult period at the moment. They have gathered just one point in the opening two matches after losing to Real Madrid in the first game. It was followed by a 1-1 draw against Sparta Prague which they should have won considering the quality of their squad. Sebastian Hoeness’s team are without a win in five games and will be hoping to change this against in-form Juventus which will be a difficult task for them.
