Juventus is coming into this match playing in very good form in their recent matches. They have won 3 of their last 4 as well as 4 of their last 6 matches with no losses in that span. Their defense has been very good in these matches as they have only allowed 3 goals in their last 5 matches, keeping 3 clean sheets in that span. When playing at home, they have won 2 of their last 4 matches there with no losses in that span and they have only allowed 1 goal in their last 3 matches there. They won their only Champions League match at home 3-1 over PSV and they also won their only away match in Champions League in their last match, beating a good RB Leipzig side 3-2. They are going up against a Stuttgart side that has not been in great form in their recent matches. They have drawn 4 of their last 5 matches with no wins in that span and they are coming off of a 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich in their last match. Their attack has not been great recently either, scoring just 3 goals in their last 4 matches. When playing away from home, they have been much worse as they have lost 2 of their last 3 away matches with no wins in that span. Their attack has only scored 3 goals in those 3 away matches and their defense has been awful as they have allowed at least 2 goals in each of those, allowing 9 goals total in those 3 matches. Even when playing in Champions League, their only away match was a 3-1 loss to Real Madrid and their only match at home was a 1-1 draw against a much weaker Sparta Prague side. Juventus has been in much better form recently but they are also a lot more focused in this competition as they are not taking any matches for granted after missing out on UCL completely last season. Juventus will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
