Juventus – Stuttgart: Initial situation
Thiago Motta brought back the winning mentality since he took over the coaching job at Juventus. The Old Lady plays excellent this season and the Reds are going into a tough visit to Turin.
Juventus Stats & Form
Juventus has turned back the clock and looks very good this season both in Serie A and the Champions League. They have a perfect record after two rounds in the elite competition. First, they dominated PSV at home in a 3-1 win and then won 3-2 in Leipzig in one of the best games we saw this season in the Champions League. Dusan Vlahovic has turned up the engine and is scoring in both competitions with a total of 7 goals. Juventus has not lost in the last ten games in all competitions and is coming off a 1-0 win against Lazio with a late own goal by the team from Rome. If we look for their last loss, it was in a friendly game against Atletico Madrid in July, and if we look for one in an official game, then we need to go back to April and the loss to Lazio in the semifinal of Coppa Italia.
Stuttgart Stats & Form
After finishing second in the Bundesliga last season, Stuttgart is back in the Champions League for the first time since the 2009-10 season. They did not have a good start to the competition. Losing 3-1 in the opener to the defending champion Real Madrid was not a big deal, but after playing only 1-1 at home against Sparta Prague, the Reds are in a difficult situation. Things are not going well in the Bundesliga either, as Stuttgart is in ninth place with only two wins in seven games. This past weekend, Stuttgart lost 4-0 on the road to Bayern Munich, allowing all four goals in the second half. That was their first loss after four consecutive draws in all competitions. Ermedin Demitovic, who was brought in from Augsburg in the offseason, is the best player on the team with five goals in the Bundesliga.

Betting tip and prediction: Juventus – Stuttgart (22.10.2024)
It’s been a while since Juventus has won any significant title, and it is obvious that the team from Turin is going in the right direction. Bringing in new head coach Thiago Motta has proven to be an excellent move by Juventus’ front office, and many fans are wondering why he was not signed earlier. The team has picked up the pace, and it is obvious that the players love to play for him, and their efforts bring results. The Old Lady won both games so far in the Champions League season, and their best game in general was the 3-2 comeback victory on the road against Leipzig. Juve had a man down after Michele Di Gregorio was sent off, but they showed character and won the game. Motta will have plenty of work going into the game against Stuttgart. The good news is that Juventus beat Lazio this weekend in the final minutes of the game, and their confidence is sky-high. Still, the injuries of striker Nicolas Gonzalez, midfielders Weston McKennie and Teun Koopmeiners, and defender Bremer will definitely impact Juventus’ performance. They did win against Lazio without them, but Stuttgart will be a much tougher opponent. The German team has only one point after two matches, and this game will give the answer to whether the Reds are on the level to even compete in the Champions League. They are coming off a disappointing loss against Bayern Munich, which wasted a lot of energy before the trip to Turin. Stuttgart’s coach has a lot of problems deciding who will start in the offense since Justin Diehl, Chris Fuhrich, and Deniz Undav are all out. Given the fact that Juventus has allowed only one goal in eight games in Serie A, Stuttgart will have a tough time scoring on Allianz. Juventus can put themselves in a very promising situation if they win this game, so we believe Motta’s team will be able to take advantage of that.
