Porto
Europa League
The first leg in Germany was the only H2H duel between these teams. Despite Porto winning the match 2:1, it was a very close match in which Stuttgart had their chances to secure a draw. They even scored a goal in the 70th minute, but it was disallowed by VAR.
Porto team overview
FC Porto had an underwhelming season last year, failing to win a trophy and suffering an early elimination in the EL knockout phase. This year, the popular Dragons are doing great! In Liga Portugal, they are at the top while averaging an incredible 2.65 points per game! Looking at their remaining schedule, we firmly believe it is almost certain that they will win the title.
Their only poor performances were in the League Cup, where Guimaraes eliminated them, and another poor performance was in the Taça de Portugal earlier this month, losing the first leg of the Semi-Finals 1:0. However, in the two most important competitions, the Dragons are doing an amazing job.
Compared to the first leg, the team should have no new injuries. However, the players who missed the first game should remain sidelined - Luuk de Jong, Samu, and Nehuen Perez.

Stuttgart team overview
Stuttgart are also doing a fine job this season. Unlike last season, when they had either success in the league or in the cup, the popular Swabians are doing well across competitions. They sit in 4th place in the Bundesliga, reached the DFB-Pokal Semi-Finals, and the Europa League 1/8-Finals. Now, in the EL, with a one-goal deficit from the first leg, the bookies do not trust them too much, offering odds around 3.8 to secure the next phase. However, they played well in the first leg and definitely have a reason to be optimistic.
After a 1:0 win over RB Leipzig, coach Sebastian Hoeneß spoke to the media. He said they were a better team and deserved a win in a tight, high-level game. "We defended very well and showed a strong team performance," the coach added.

Prediction
Porto have been great throughout the season, but were particularly good at home, where they won 18 out of 21 matches. The Dragons also scored in 20 out of 21 home matches - 95%.
Meanwhile, Stuttgart have been fantastic for this type of bet on the road, as both teams scored in their last four matches. Also, the Swabiens managed to score in 12 of the past 13 games and should do well in this game as well.
Moreover, we saw both teams scoring in the first game as well. Considering all the above, we believe both teams will score at least once in this Europa League duel.
4 Reasons why both teams should score
- Both teams scored in the first leg (2:1 for Porto)
- Porto scored in 20 out of 21 home games
- Stuttgart scored in 12 of the past 13 games
- Both teams scored in the past four of Stuttgart's road matches
