Stuttgart vs PSG Prediction & Betting Tips (29 January)

Very good surprise from the Bundesliga last year, Stuttgart gave itself the right to compete in the Champions League brilliantly this season. And before this last day, this team is still in the running to try to qualify for the play-offs by occupying the 24th position in the ranking, the last allowing access to the next round, with 2 lengths ahead of its first pursuer which is none other than Manchester City. Capable of winning against Juventus 0-1 at the end of October, the Germans were then dominated by Atalanta 0-2 then, more surprisingly, by Red Star Belgrade 5-1. After this big disappointment, the VfB recovered well by beating Young Boys 5-1 and Slovan Bratislava 1-3 last week. In the league, the Swabians are also in rather good shape at the moment. They have in fact had 3 consecutive successes against Augsburg 0-1, Leipzig 2-1 and Friborg 4-0 and they will go to Mainz on Saturday in order to get closer to the podium. Very poorly off to a good start in this League phase, PSG played very big last week at home against Manchester City.

And while it had conceded 2 goals at the very start of the second half, PSG showed a character that we did not know on the European scene to reverse the situation and even win quite clearly against Apathetic Citizens 4-2. This success allowed Luis Enrique's players to move up to 22nd place in the rankings and a draw can now be enough for them to validate their place in the play-offs. Before that, the Ile-de-France residents had found themselves in difficulty by losing against Atlético 1-2 and against Bayern Munich 1-0 and they were then able to stay in the race for qualification by winning against Salzburg 0- 3. At the same time, PSG still appears alone in the world in the race for the Ligue 1 title since it still has a 9-point lead over its first pursuer. On Saturday, he will try to achieve a 5th success in a row in the league against Reims.

A former Parisian still lacks the call on the side of Stuttgart. It is the defender Zagadou who is injured just like the former Rémois El-Bilal Touré (2 league goals). The usual replacement Raimund and the striker Dielh (1 goal in 5 games of Championship) will not be able for this poster either while the central defender holder Rouault is suspended. Finally, Recruit Bruun Larsen will not be qualified. Suspended in the league last weekend, the Habs Millot (4 goals, 3 Bundesliga passes; 2 achievements and 3 assists Decisive in C1) should regain its place in the 11th, undoubtedly as a playmaker when Lewelling, author of a double against Bratislava, could be renewed on the right. At the forefront, the German international striker Undav (7 goals in the Bundesliga) could be preferred halfway. PSG should only be deprived of the young winger Mbaye, injured, and the left side Nuno Mendes who is suspended for this match.

The flagship recruit Kvaratskhelia (Naples) is not available for this last match, not allowed to play by UEFA. This winter, the club took advantage of the transfer window to get rid of the undesirable Skriniar (Fenerbahçe) and Kolo Muani (Juventus). A priori, Luis Enrique should again start Barcola (11 league goals), who scored and issued a decisive pass last week for his Dembélé accolyte (10 goals, 4 passes in L1; 1 goal, 1 pass in C1) which was the symbol of Parisian rebellion against City. In the heart of the game, Joao Neves also shone in a thousand lights alongside Vitinha. Fabian Ruiz and Zaïre-Emery should be in balance for the last place of the trio in the midfield.
