Stuttgart take on Porto in an eagerly-awaited first-leg Europa League game on Thursday evening. As Stuttgart have turned their MHP Arena into a real fortress, we predict a 2-1 home win. The German side have been impressive this season, particularly at home, where they’ve won four of their last five matches (wwwlw) and average 3.00 goals per game, conceding just 0.80 per match. Key players Jeff Chabot and Bilal El Khannouss return from suspension, boosting Stuttgart’s defense and midfield after their impressive elimination of Celtic in the previous round. Overall, Die Schwaben score in 90% of matches at home, highlighting their attacking potency.
Porto will be without star attacker Samu, who is out for the rest of the season, though they arrive in solid form with three wins in the last five outings (wwwld). Away from home, the Dragons have struggled, winning only 20% of matches, while averaging 1.00 goals per game and conceding 1.20, suggesting they may face difficulty breaking down Stuttgart’s disciplined defense. Both teams have seen both teams score in 60% of their games, so a high-intensity, attacking contest is expected. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team following a 2-2 draw with Benfica in the Primeira Liga derby.
Given Stuttgart's strong home record and returning players, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (Stuttgart’s attacking form and Porto’s resilience suggest goals are likely).
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 12 March 2026 at 17:45.
