Juventus vs Stuttgart prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 22, 2024
One of the third-round matches of the UEFA Champions League group stage will take place in Turin, where Juventus will host Stuttgart. Here's the expert prediction from the Dailysports team.
Juventus
The "Zebras" have had a mixed start to this season. It's clear that Thiago Motta is still settling in as the head coach of the "Bianconeri," and he needs time to implement his tactical ideas. Nevertheless, Juventus appeared rejuvenated and energized in their early matches, especially when compared to the last season under Massimiliano Allegri.
Impressive victories over Como and Verona, both 3:0, sparked optimism, but Juventus struggled to maintain that momentum. In the following five rounds, they managed just one win—a 3:0 victory over Genoa. Over the weekend, Juventus secured a crucial 1:0 home win against Lazio, lifting them to second place in the league. In the Champions League, Juventus also got off to a strong start with wins over PSV and Leipzig.
Stuttgart
The "Swabians" have also started this season confidently. Under Sebastian Hoeneß, Stuttgart sits in eighth place in the Bundesliga standings with nine points and only one defeat from six rounds. However, in recent matches, the team has registered three consecutive draws across all competitions.
After a 2:2 draw with Wolfsburg, Stuttgart shared the spoils with Sparta Prague in the Champions League (1:1) and repeated this scenario against Hoffenheim (1:1). In their most recent Bundesliga match over the weekend, Stuttgart suffered a heavy 0:4 away defeat to Bayern Munich.
Match Facts
- Juventus has not lost a competitive match since April 2024, when they were defeated by Lazio in the Coppa Italia.
- The "Both Teams to Score" bet has hit in only 2 of Juventus' last 5 matches.

Prediction
Juventus is in good form and is understandably favored to win this match. Odds for a Juventus victory are around 1.90. We believe the "Zebras" have enough strength to follow up their win against Lazio with another home victory against Stuttgart.
