Match Preview
Stuttgart U19 will host Sparta Praha U19 in the UEFA Youth League on Tuesday, 1 October, at the GAZİ-Stadion auf der Waldau. The home side comes into this match with a mixed bag of results, having recorded one win, two draws, and one loss in their last five outings. In contrast, Sparta Praha U19 is struggling, with a disappointing run of three losses and only two draws in their last five matches. This disparity in form suggests that Stuttgart may have the upper hand going into this encounter.
Historically, Stuttgart has dominated this fixture, winning the only previous meeting and keeping a clean sheet. Given Sparta's ongoing difficulties in finding the net—evidenced by their failure to score in four of their last five matches—Stuttgart's defence could prove pivotal. The odds reflect Stuttgart's status as favourites, with a win priced at 1.7. A bet on Stuttgart to win alongside a clean sheet may be worth considering, especially given Sparta's lack of attacking threat.
