Alexander Nübel (muscular problems), Josha Vagnoman (Foot injury), Anthony Rouault (Broken jaw), Nikolas Nartey (Fitness) and Dan-Axel Zagadou (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for Stuttgart gaffer Sebastian Hoeneß.

It’s our opinion that Stuttgart will possibly opt for a 4-4-2 system for this one, utilising Alexander Nuebel, Leonidas Stergiou, Waldemar Anton, Hiroki Ito, M. Mittelstaedt, Enzo Millot, Atakan Karazor, Angelo Stiller, Chris Fuehrich, Deniz Undav and Serhou Guirassy.

Hugo Ekitiké (muscular problems), Sasa Kalajdzic (Cruciate ligament tear), Sebastian Rode (Knee problems), Mehdi Loune (Cruciate ligament tear) and Aurélio Buta (Ill) will not be playing here. Players who are serving a ban and are therefore ineligible to play are Junior Dina Ebimbe and Tuta.
