One of the Europa League’s four Thursday early meetings consists of Round-of-32 Stuttgart hosting an automatically-qualified Porto at MHPArena.

Stuttgart got the job done early doors in the UEL playoff first leg, hammering Celtic 1-4 away from home, giving them a large safety net heading into the second leg. Meaning the 0-1 home defeat wasn’t anything to dwell over; they clearly used their big lead to their advantage, and didn’t intend to exert any unnecessary efforts. 

Die Roten are maintaining decent standards in both the league and cup, currently ranked 4th in the Bundesliga and have been unrelenting in their goal scoring this season.

On the flip side, Porto haven’t been blessed with an easier run up to this game, facing both Benfica and Sporting away from home in their last two, resulting in two winless games. This will be their third fixture in a row away from their home soil. They may not have as much confidence as they’d have hoped, going into this critical game.

Our Stuttgart vs Porto Prediction

There’s no danger of El Khannouss not getting involved, as the Moroccan is shooting lots in both league and continental commitments. Especially in the latter, where he has been very dangerous in the final third, scoring the most goals for Stuttgart in the UEL with five, averaging him at a very impressive 0.98 goals per game. This ranks him as the 4th best in the entire competition for goals per 90 minutes. 

Additionally, El Khannouss should be very well rested and prepared to go here, due to yellow cards in the league. Prior to this he had produced multiple shots in each of his last four appearances, with the last time he scored being in their last UEL game. He’ll be out searching for more.
