Stuttgart and Celtic arrived in inspired form for the first leg of their Europa League Round of 32 tie in Scotland. Ultimately, the Bundesliga side extended their unbeaten run, crushing Celtic away from home. El Khannouss scored the first two goals for the German team; then Leweling added another, and in the 93rd minute, Tomas delivered the knockout blow, giving Stuttgart a comfortable advantage they hope to manage on Thursday to secure their place in the Round of 16.
Weeks before the first leg, Celtic had rehired Martin O'Neill for a third stint as manager, hoping to pull them out of their slump. Before the crushing defeat at the hands of Stuttgart, they boasted a 10-match unbeaten run, but once again the Scottish side ran into their insurmountable obstacle, failing to win another European knockout match and thus failing to win any of their last 12 such games.
To make matters worse, a comeback seems even more improbable, given that Stuttgart has never lost in six previous home matches against a Scottish national team.

Our Stuttgart vs Celtic Prediction
Stuttgart's German striker Deniz Ündav is already valued at €20 million in the transfer market; at 29 years old, he is enjoying a rich vein of form, having scored three goals and provided three assists in February alone.
As for Celtic, their last five matches have seen goals from both sides, and it seems likely that this will happen again in Germany, considering Stuttgart's scoring rate. After losing the first leg against the Germans, Celtic couldn't beat the humble Hibernian and lost to them at home in the league.
Our prediction for Stuttgart vs Celtic is: Over 3.5 goals.
