The 2024-25 edition of Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this week as VfB Stuttgart take on Thiago Motta's Juventus side in an important clash at the Allianz Stadium on Tuesday. Juventus have a good squad at their disposal and hold the upper hand going into this game.
Juventus vs VfB Stuttgart Preview
Juventus are in seventh place in the UEFA Champions League table and have been fairly impressive in the competition this season. The Bianconeri edged Lazio to a narrow 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
VfB Stuttgart, on the other hand, are in 25th place in the Champions League standings and have struggled on the European front. The German outfit slumped to a damaging 4-0 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich over the weekend and will need to bounce back in this match.
