Stuttgart vs Sparta Prague Betting Tips: BTTS

Stuttgart enters Tuesday’s contest as the understandable favorites, but it's unlikely that the Czech champions will be easy prey, and we believe they have enough firepower in the final third to cause trouble for the German side.

The return to Europe’s biggest club stage after a 15-year absence didn’t go smoothly for Die Schwaben, but at the same time, they have little reason to be disappointed with the 1-3 loss as their opponent was none other than the reigning UCL champions Real Madrid.

After that setback, Sebastian Hoeness's squad served up a brutal response by hammering Borussia Dortmund 5-1 at home, before needing a last-gasp strike from Undav to salvage a point in a dramatic 2-2 stalemate at Woflsburg over the weekend.

Despite being unstoppable in attack, netting 3+ times in six straght home matches, Die Schwaben clearly struggle with defensive stability, as revealed by just one clean sheet posted in eight competitive matches, which came against 2nd-tier side Munster when they inflifcted a five-goal demolition in the DFB Pokal.

In stark contrast to the German opposition, Sparta Prague have made a stellar start to their Champions League campaign as they blew away Red Bull Salzburg 3-0 at the epic ARENA and they certainly won’t fear the next challenge as they have shone on foreign soil, combining an incredible 15-match winning streak.

Unfortunately, Iron Sparta's unbeaten start to the new season was cut short on Saturday as they succumbed to a shocking 2-3 home defeat at the hands of Sigma Olomouc, which certainly represented a rather negative prelude before their trip to Germany.

Having scored two or more times in 15 of their 16 outings this season, Sparta Prague will surely fancy their chances of finding the net against Stuttgart's unreliable defense, so we expect the crowd at the MHPArena to be treated to an exciting and goal-filled encounter between two attack-minded sides.
