Slovan Bratislava host Stuttgart at Národný Futbalový Štadión on Wednesday, October 14 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).
There’s no fresh fitness news to report for either side, so Slovan Bratislava should be able to call on the group that’s carried their goal threat so far this season. Suleiman Camara Sanneh leads the way with 3 goals and 1 assist from 370 minutes in midfield, while Andraž Šporar (2 goals, 232 minutes) and Alasana Yirajang (2 goals, 277 minutes) add further goal threat up front. For Stuttgart, Ermedin Demirović is the headline act, with 3 goals from just 4 shots in only 62 minutes of action, backed by the creative range of Deniz Undav, who has already created 3 chances and set up 2 goals this season.
Points on the board tell their own story: Stuttgart sit on 3 points with a +2 goal difference after an opening 3-1 win over Viking, while Slovan Bratislava remain on 0 points and -5 following a 6-1 defeat away to Paris Saint-Germain. That gap points toward a Stuttgart win, but it shouldn’t be completely one-sided — Slovan Bratislava have shown in continental play this season that they can compete, drawing 1-1 with Celje and beating Mjällby AIF home and away, and they look more likely to find a response here than suffer another landslide.
