Stuttgart host Atletico Madrid at Mercedes-Benz-Arena on Tuesday, October 20 (3:00 PM ET \/ 2:00 PM CT \/ 12:00 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stuttgart and Atletico Madrid both go into this one with clean bills of health, so expect the key men from each matchday squad to start. Ermedin Demirovi\u0107, who has already scored 3 goals in just 62 minutes of action this season, leads the Stuttgart attack, with Deniz Undav’s 2 assists and 3 chances created and Angelo Stiller’s distribution from midfield driving the build-up play. Atletico Madrid will again call on Juli\u00e1n Alvarez, who has put 3 shots on target from 5 attempts, alongside midfielders Pablo Barrios and Alejandro Baena, with defender Alejandro Grimaldo offering an additional route from deep.<\/p>\n

On the pitch, this looks a tight contest rather than a shootout. Stuttgart sit on 3 points from 1 game having already posted a +2 goal difference, while Atletico Madrid have 3 points from 2 games and a +1 goal difference \u2014 both sides have shown they can score, and both have been breached too, judging by Atletico’s defeat to Liverpool. Expect fine margins, with the efficiency Alvarez and Barrios have shown in front of goal enough to turn a close game their way.<\/p>\n\n\n
