Stuttgart vs FC Porto Predictions

• Four of Porto’s last five Europa League games have seen both teams score
• Stuttgart have scored twice in five of their last six games
• Porto have drawn 1-1 in their last two Europa League trips

Porto’s European aims face key test

Porto are dreaming of a first European trophy since 2011, but their hopes of winning the Europa League will face a stern test in Germany on Thursday.

Porto have failed to win their last three away games in Europe, but a perfect home record helped them to finish fifth in the League Phase.

Stuttgart were able to coast through the second-leg of their Play-Off round clash with Celtic after a 4-1 win in Glasgow, and their high-scoring form has continued in the Bundesliga.

Since progressing in Europe, Stuttgart have beaten Wolfsburg 4-0 and drawn 2-2 with Mainz. The hosts have scored at least twice in five of their last six games, and they netted 15 times across their eight League Phase matches.

Both teams have scored in four of Porto’s last five Europa League games, and they drew 2-2 with Benfica at the weekend. Given Stuttgart’s high-scoring style, both sides look capable of scoring.
