VfB Stuttgart and Viking will be facing off for the first time ever to start off their respective UEFA Champions League campaigns. This encounter will mark the first meeting between the two sides but also a chance to better their numbers in this competition.
Stuttgart lost both previous meetings with Norwegian opponents, while Viking posted six defeats in their 11 previous meetings with German opposition. Stuttgart will have the favorites’ feeling coming into this game, kicking off their second league phase appearance in the last three seasons. On the other hand, Viking brings on board the freshness of a first-timer in the Champions League main draw.
While Stuttgart are here courtesy of a top-four finish in the Bundesliga, Viking bagged their first league title in Norway since 1991. The Norwegians had to go through the UCL qualifiers to get to the main draw. As both teams are coming off high-scoring matches, our prediction here will be based on the goals market.

Stuttgart - Viking FK: Form Analysis
Stuttgart are set for their fifth appearance in the Champions League proper. In the earlier four they failed to win the opening match, losing three times, and they would like a change here. The last time they played at this level was in 2024/25, and Stuttgart finished 26th in the league phase.
They will be looking to improve on their W3,D1,L4 record back then, and looking at their recent performance, they will be positive about it. Stuttgart are coming off a 4-1 win over Cologne in the Bundesliga. That was the second time in three matches that they scored four times. Last season, Stuttgart played in the Europa League, winning all home games.
Stuttgart have won four of their last five league phase matches in European competitions.
Viking last played in the Champions League in 1992/93, the last time they lifted the Norwegian league title before last season. They’ve had to negotiate their way through the qualifiers, playing in the third round. The Norwegian champions will be featuring in the CL league phase for the first time.
They will hope to carry their domestic form here while they also did well in the home leg of their qualifier against Dinamo Zagreb. In that particular game they won 3-1. The visitors are coming off a 1-1 draw with Sandefjord, which broke their three-game winning run.

Stuttgart & Viking FK Squad Analysis
Viking will have to deal with the outstanding Deniz Undav here, and the Norwegians’ defence better be ready for a busy outing. The German international had a total of nine goal contributions in the Europa League last season, scoring three times.
Undav had one of his most productive seasons in 2025/26, as he recorded 39 G/A across all competitions. Stuttgart have, however, been rocked by injuries, and in this game they will be without at least nine players, all who are on the injury list.
Viking’s Tripic scored in both legs of their Champions League qualifier.
Zlatko Tripic is the Viking version of Undav. He is the main threat the Germans will have to deal with in this encounter. The Norwegian forward has had eight goal contributions for his team in the last nine matches.
He has scored five times and laid on three assists in that period. He has, however, failed to score in the last two matches, a trend he will be keen on addressing in this trip to Germany. Across all competitions this season, Tripic has been involved in 22 goals.
Stuttgart - Viking FK Key Points

Our Stuttgart vs Viking FK Prediction
This fixture holds the promise of a high-scoring encounter, looking at how Stuttgart have started the season and Viking’s performances in recent outings. Apart from their game against Bayern Munich, Stuttgart have been scoring a lot. This season they have nine goals in three matches and only kept one clean sheet. Viking will come here hoping to exploit that aspect about their hosts’ game. The Norwegians, debuting in the Champions League, will surely be the underdogs here, but we can’t ignore their scoring form. Our prediction for Stuttgart v Viking is for BTTS and over 2.5 goals.
Stuttgart vs Viking FK Alternative Predictions

They won their last four home matches in Europe, and our second bet in this will be for Stuttgart to win.
