Does Stuttgart create the first Champions League home victory since 2010?

in the Champions League duel on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, VfB Stuttgart welcomes the BSC Young Boys from Bern in the MHP-Arena. Stuttgart has shown previously mixed services this season, but is currently in the race for the K.-O. round with four points. The Swabians recently recovered through three returnees and were able to achieve some impressive results in the Bundesliga, including a spectacular 3-2 victory against Union Berlin after returning 0: 2 and a sovereign 3-0 victory in the DFB Cup against Jahn Regensburg href = "https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/stuttgart-young-boys-champions-league-blog-piew-report-undav-nubel-demirovic-29965"> bundesliga.com . Despite this success, however, there are concerns about the defense, in particular on the basis of the performance of goalkeeper Alexander Nübel, who has already received 11 goals.

Weak record of the Young Boys

The BSC Young Boys are at the end of the table of the group phase with zero points and have already conceded 17 goals in this Champions League season. Her last place was shaped by a devastating 1: 6 defeat against Atalanta and previous bankruptcies. The team has also no longer won an away game in the Champions League since 1960, which further restricts the opportunities for points, such as Sportwetten.bild reports. These challenges also have a high fluctuation in the starting eleven, since the Young Boys have already made 19 changes this season, which further illustrates their difficulties.

With a focus on a victory, Stuttgart will do everything possible to triumph against the pointless Swiss in front of a home crowd. After its last home bankruptcy in European competitions since 2010, VfB is now hoping for a turn of events. Successful carrier such as HREDIN DENIROVIć, who has already scored nine goals this season, could be crucial to help the Stuttgarters move into the play-off phase and at the same time overcome the negative series.
