Stuttgart host Atletico Madrid at Mercedes-Benz-Arena on Tuesday, October 20 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).
No fresh injury or suspension concerns have surfaced for either side ahead of this one, so Stuttgart should be able to call on Ermedin Demirović, who struck three goals in his last outing, alongside creator Deniz Undav, who supplied two assists in that same match. Atletico Madrid will look to Julian Alvarez and Alejandro Baena to carry the attacking weight, with Pablo Barrios and Ademola Lookman both capable of popping up with a goal of their own.
