Stuttgart will play Atletico in one of the matches of the third round of the Champions League on October 20. The mattresses are approaching the upcoming game on a winning streak of six matches. The Swabians do not demonstrate such a stable game and have already suffered four defeats in the Bundesliga. We're figuring out the betting tip, who has the best chance of scoring three points today, and which reliable bets to choose
Command Analysis
VfB Stuttgart
Current form
Stuttgart got an easy calendar in the opening two rounds of the Champions League and quite expectedly scored six points. First, the Swabians defeated Viking on their own field (5:1), and then they dealt with Slovan no less confidently in Bratislava (3:0). In the Bundesliga, Sebastian Hoeness's players are clearly not living up to expectations, having scored only six points in six rounds and are in 13th place in the table. The day before, Stuttgart suffered an away defeat from Hamburg with a score of 0:1. There was a significant advantage in the game, they scored 24 shots on goal, but they couldn't score, and they missed in the end.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nartey, Al-Dakhil and Thomas are injured, Zagadu, Stergiu, Dil and Drlacha are out of the game. Entering the Mittelstadt field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
Stuttgart has won two of the last three matches in the first half.
Stuttgart has not lost by offside in four consecutive matches.
Atletico is having a successful season, and is currently on a six-game winning streak, taking into account all tournaments. The mattresses have had only two misfires since the beginning of the season: in the Example they lost to Athletic Bilbao (0:3), and in the first round of the Champions League they failed to cope with Liverpool (1:2) on the road. For the initial setback in the Champions League, Madrid fully rehabilitated themselves in the second round, beating Manchester United (2:0) on their own field. In the last match of Atletico in the League, they scored a difficult victory over Espanyol away with a score of 1:0. Alex Baena scored the winning goal in the 89th minute. It should be noted that Diego Simeone's team has made significant progress in terms of defensive reliability, having conceded only two goals in the last six matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Koke and Romero are on the injured list at Atletico. Cardoso's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
Four of the last six wins have been scored by Atletico with a dry score.
In 8 of the 10 previous matches, Atletico players fouled less often than their opponents
Approximate line–up: Oblak – Pubil, Le Norman, Gantzko, Grimaldo – Llorente, Barrios - J. Simeone, Baena, Lukman – Alvarez.
Stuttgart scored the maximum six points in two rounds in the Champions League, but did not meet with rivals of the level of Atletico. At the same time, the Schwabs are completely unimpressive in the Bundesliga, they managed to lose in four of the six rounds, they have problems with implementation, and they are not reliable in defense.
Atletico is currently demonstrating balanced football, there are practically no weak points in the game. Diego Simeone has found a balance between attack and defense, even when the game is not going well, he manages to put the squeeze on his opponents, and there are opportunities to strengthen with substitutions. The mattresses are on a winning streak of six matches, in which they conceded only two goals. We do not think that unstable Stuttgart will have a chance to score at least one point today.
Our betting tip is that Atletico will win by a factor of 2.12
When choosing a total bet, we rely on the guests and their reliable defensive play. Atletico won six matches in a row and kept their gates locked on four occasions. If the defenders make mistakes, an experienced player is always ready to help out at the gate. We don't expect Stuttgart to be able to hit Madrid's goal more than once today.
The second bet is that Stuttgart's individual goal total is less than 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.68
Betting on corners
Stuttgart tends to play attacking football, which leads to a decent number of serves from the corner flag. In 11 of the 16 previous matches with the participation of the hosts, more than 10 corners were played. Based on this trend, we recommend another bet.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 10.5 with a coefficient of 2.30
