Our Tips

As the Champions League heats up, all eyes turn to the MHPArena where Stuttgart are set to lock horns with Atalanta BC on Wednesday night. Both teams, known for their attacking flair, are just a point apart and currently occupy playoff spots after three matchdays. Stuttgart, making their return to Europe’s elite competition after a lengthy hiatus since 2009, have already faced giants like Real Madrid and Juventus. Atalanta, fresh from a stunning victory over Serie A leaders Napoli, are riding high and eager to make their mark. With both sides boasting some serious firepower, this clash promises to be anything but a dull affair.

Best Bet for this match: Under 2.5 Goals

When two teams that live and breathe attacking football meet, goals are almost guaranteed. Stuttgart have been anything but shy in front of goal lately. Their dramatic 1-0 victory over Juventus, courtesy of El Bilal Toure’s stoppage-time strike, showcased their never-say-die attitude. Toure, on loan from Atalanta of all places, will be itching to prove a point against his parent club. Enzo Millot, despite missing a penalty against Juve, redeemed himself with the assist for the winner. With players like Deniz Undav and Jamie Leweling adding to their attacking options, Stuttgart are spoilt for choice up front.

On the other side, Atalanta are the epitome of attacking prowess in Serie A this season, averaging a whopping 2.64 goals per game. Ademola Lookman’s brace against Napoli was a masterclass in finishing, and let’s not forget Mateo Retegui, who can’t seem to stop scoring on the road. Although Retegui had a quiet night against Celtic, he’s already netted five goals in six Serie A away matches. With Charles De Ketelaere pulling the strings behind the forwards, Atalanta’s attack is a well-oiled machine.

Defensively, both teams have had their moments of vulnerability. Stuttgart have managed only one clean sheet in their last six matches across all competitions. Atalanta, despite their recent defensive solidity, showed against Juventus that they can be drawn into high-scoring affairs, as that 4-4 draw demonstrated. Let’s be honest, neither side is famous for parking the bus.

Our expert John Pentin from BettingTips4You.com sums it up perfectly: “When Stuttgart’s dynamic attack meets Atalanta’s goal-hungry forwards, sitting on an under 2.5 goals bet would be like bringing an umbrella to a desert—utterly pointless.”

Considering all these factors, it’s hard to imagine this match ending without at least three goals. Both teams have too much attacking talent and too many defensive lapses to keep the scoreline low. For punters looking for value, backing over 2.5 goals seems not just logical, but almost irresistible.

Correct Score Prediction: Stuttgart 2-2 Atalanta

Aligning with our best bet of over 2.5 goals, a 2-2 draw seems a plausible outcome. Stuttgart have the home advantage and have been formidable at the MHPArena, unbeaten on their turf since October 2023. Their attacking options are plentiful, and they will fancy their chances of breaching Atalanta’s defence. However, Atalanta’s away form is impressive, especially with Retegui’s penchant for scoring on the road. Both teams are likely to find the net more than once.

Stuttgart’s defence, missing key players like Jeff Chabot and Dan-Axel Zagadou, might struggle to contain Atalanta’s forwards. Conversely, Atalanta have shown that they can concede goals even when dominating matches. A high-scoring draw would be a fair reflection of both teams’ strengths and weaknesses, and honestly, who wouldn’t want to see a four-goal thriller?
