VfB Stuttgart will host Atletico Madrid at the MHP Arena on Tuesday, continuing their UEFA Champions League campaigns.

However, their recent domestic form saw a dip with a 1-0 loss to Hamburger, ending a four-game winning streak.

This winning streak includes a significant 2-0 victory against Manchester United in their previous Champions League outing, bouncing back from an earlier defeat to Liverpool. The Spanish side currently sits second in La Liga, trailing leaders Barcelona by five points.
