Slovan Bratislava vs Stuttgart team news and expert analysis
The Bratislava club have had no real rivals at home for quite some time. They have won the league title every season since 2018/19, and once again secured the "gold" early in the spring. Now, under Yaya Touré, they made a winning start, but then began to drop points. Their latest league outing also ended in a draw.
The team from the MHP Arena finished fourth in the Bundesliga last season and lost to Bayern Munich in the cup final. However, they have made a disastrous start this campaign, beating only Cologne and Hansa Rostock in the cup amid a string of defeats. After the break, they finally picked up a win, beating Paderborn 2-0.
The hosts have come through the summer qualifying rounds this time. They comfortably overcame Iberia 1999, Mjällby and Celje. However, they were then thrashed 6-1 by PSG in the opening round. The Germans, inspired by a hat-trick from Demirović, comfortably defeated Viking 3-1 at home.

We do not expect any problems for the Germans this time either — they will win even with a "-1.5 goals" handicap (odds – 1.83).
