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

The reigning Europa League winners eye a big win over Die Roten.

Matchday 4 of the UEFA Champions League takes us to The MHP Arena in Stuttgart, where VfB Stuttgart are scheduled to lock horns against Atalanta BC

The German side VfB Stuttgart currently sit 8th in the Bundesliga points table, having secured 3 wins and 4 draws. Their recent form have been impressive, and their performance in the UEFA Champions League have been satisfactory thus far. In their three matches in the competition, they have recorded 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss. Stuttgart’s Champions League campaign began with a defeat to Real Madrid, followed by a draw against Sparta Praha. Most recently, they claimed victory over a 10-man Juventus side. Now, Stuttgart is aiming to defeat another Italian opponent as they prepare to face Atalanta BC in their upcoming fixture.

Atalanta BC made headlines worldwide when they triumphed over the formidable Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Europa League final to claim the title. They started their Serie A campaign strongly, achieving 7 wins and just 3 losses, including victories in their last 5 consecutive matches.

However, their UEFA Champions League performance have been less impressive, with only one win and two draws so far. Despite this, Atalanta remains unbeaten in the competition and will be aiming to secure their second victory of the campaign when they face the German side VfB Stuttgart in the upcoming match.

Players to Watch

Denis Undav (VfB Stuttgart):

Denis Undav, the 5’10” German striker from Varel, began his football journey with Werder Bremen and TSV Havelse before moving to Brighton & Hove Albion in 2022. He spent a significant period at Union SG and VfB Stuttgart before joining Stuttgart permanently in 2024.

Since then, he has made 9 appearances and scored 5 goals for the club. Undav will be looking to play a pivotal role in Stuttgart’s ambition to establish themselves as strong contenders in the UEFA Champions League. His attacking prowess and sharp shooting skills will be invaluable assets for coach Sebastian Hoeneb in the upcoming match.

Davide Zappacosta (Atalanta)

Davide Zappacosta, the 32-year-old veteran full-back from Sora, rejoined Atalanta BC in 2021 and has since made nearly 100 appearances for the club. After playing for notable teams such as Juventus, Chelsea, Roma, and Genoa, he returned to Atalanta, where he had previously played during the 2014-15 season.

Zappacosta’s overlapping runs down the flanks will be a crucial asset for Atalanta as they prepare to face the German side Stuttgart, with hopes of securing all three points in the upcoming fixture.
