Go Ahead Eagles vs Stuttgart Predictions

• Stuttgart score on average 1.81 goals in their league campaign
• Both teams have scored in three of Stuttgart’s last five matches
• Go Ahead Eagles have scored in five of their last six

Both teams to get on the scoresheet in Deventer

Dutch side Go Ahead Eagles host German outfit Stuttgart in this Europa League matchup on Thursday evening. Both sides currently sit just inside the top 24, the cutoff for qualification, but with only a small points gap separating teams in mid-table, nothing is guaranteed, and three points here would be hugely valuable.

Go Ahead Eagles were handed a major boost when they upset Aston Villa last month, and their home form has been a real strength. They’ve won their last three matches in Deventer, scoring seix goals across those fixtures and beating Feyenoord along the way. In the Europa League, they’ve found the net in three of their four group stage games, and their attacking output at home continues to be consistent and difficult for visiting sides to contain.

Stuttgart, meanwhile, haven’t quite translated their strong Bundesliga form, where they sit fifth and average 1.81 goals per game, into European success. Defensive inconsistencies have hurt them, with the German side conceding in  three of their four Europa League matches so far. However, their forward line remains dangerous, and they’ve scored in all of their last six competitive games, showing they can cause problems even when not at their best. With Go Ahead Eagles strong at home, scoring in five of their last sic and Stuttgart carrying plenty of threat but prone to conceding, this matchup has all the signs of being open and lively. Both Teams to Score looks the standout prediction here.
