Prediction: 3-1
Stuttgart
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Real Betis and Real Sociedad, Real Madrid will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Stuttgart in their Champions League opener. Summer signing Kylian Mbappe has been improving his game week by week and, no doubt, all eyes will be on the France superstar when the two sides face each other at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday. Brazil forward Rodrygo returns to the starting XI, while Brahim Diaz is a major doubt after limping off with injury at the weekend. All Dani Ceballos, Eduardo Camavinga, and David Alaba remain in the recovery room.
Die Schwaben, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Borussia M’gladbach, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the Champions League title holders. As Stuttgart suffered a 4-0 loss to Barcelona in their last away game in the elite competition, we are tempted to bet on los Blancos. All Al Dakhil, Kratzig, and Nartey are injured for the Bundesliga side.
