Stuttgart are heading into this match in shaky form. They have not won any of their last five games, with three draws and two losses. Their recent matches have also been high-scoring, including a 3-3 draw and a 4-2 defeat, which shows they are leaking goals at the back but are still capable of scoring themselves.

Lille, on the other hand, are in much better shape. They have won three of their last five matches, including two impressive away wins without conceding a goal, and they have only lost once in that same period. They look solid and hard to beat, so even though Stuttgart will be playing at home, Lille's stronger recent results and defensive stability make them the more likely side to come away with the win.
