Crvena Zvezda vs Stuttgart prediction features two teams in contrasting situations in the UEFA Champions League. While Red Star has dominated domestically, their European campaign has been a nightmare, leaving them on the brink of early elimination. Stuttgart, back in the UCL after a 15-year absence, will be keen to make the most of this opportunity to push for qualification. This clash promises to be a crucial one, with both sides aiming to turn their fortunes around and stay alive in the competition.
In this match preview, we will assess the current form, tactical approach, and key players for both teams. Red Star’s struggles in Europe and Stuttgart’s mixed start to their UCL campaign will provide plenty of talking points. Let’s explore how these two sides might approach this must-win encounter.
Zvezda's domestic dominance is unquestionable, having won twelve consecutive matches in the Serbian SuperLiga. Their most recent victory, a 1-0 win over OFK Beograd, showcases their strong form in the league. However, their fortunes in the UEFA Champions League have been a stark contrast. A disastrous run of four consecutive losses leaves them with little hope of advancing, and their dismal record in the post-qualification stages of the UCL is a cause for concern, with just one draw and thirteen defeats from their last 14 attempts. The recent 5-2 thrashing by Barcelona only added to their woes, and with 16 goals conceded so far, their defence has been woefully leaky.
Vladan Milojević’s men will need to shore up their defence if they are to stand any chance against Stuttgart. Although their attack remains potent domestically, they have struggled to find the same rhythm in Europe. Players like Aleksandar Katai and Ben Seghir will be key if Red Star hopes to score, but their defensive frailties could continue to be exposed. A change in tactics may be necessary for Red Star to avoid another heavy defeat and salvage any hope of qualification from this group.
Stuttgart, back in the UCL after a long 15-year absence, have not had the smoothest return, picking up just one win from their opening four games. A solitary 1-0 victory over Juventus, however, will give them some belief heading into this clash. That win was crucial for Sebastian Hoeneß’s side, and they’ll be hoping to replicate that performance in Belgrade. Their recent Bundesliga form has been a mixed bag, but they managed a solid 2-0 win over Bochum last weekend, which suggests they are beginning to find some rhythm after a tough start to the UCL campaign.
Stuttgart’s approach has largely been pragmatic, focusing on a solid defensive structure and looking to strike on the counter-attack. Their only away win in the last five games came at Juventus, so their fans will be optimistic about another away success in the Champions League. The experienced duo of Wataru Endo and Sasa Kalajdzic will need to play pivotal roles, with Endo’s leadership in midfield and Kalajdzic’s presence up front likely to be key. If Stuttgart can keep Crvena Zvezda at bay, they could well come away with the three points they desperately need.
This match is expected to be tight, with both teams having their own struggles and strengths. Crvena Zvezda will likely take a more attacking approach, especially considering they have little to lose in terms of qualification hopes. However, their porous defence could be their downfall again, as Stuttgart will aim to exploit the space left by Zvezda’s high press. Stuttgart, on the other hand, will likely adopt a more measured approach, focusing on defensive stability and hitting on the counter when possible.
The game could be a nervy affair, with both teams feeling the pressure of needing a positive result. While Crvena Zvezda will look to assert their dominance early, Stuttgart’s experience in European competition could give them the edge. With both teams struggling defensively, goals are expected, but it’s difficult to predict which side will come out on top in what promises to be a closely fought contest.

Our prediction for this match is a 2-1 win for Crvena Zvezda Belgrade. Despite their poor form in the Champions League, we believe they will find a way to edge out Stuttgart in this crucial encounter. Zvezda’s wunderkind, Andrija Maksimović, has been in superb form and is expected to play a pivotal role. With his ability to score at crucial moments, we anticipate him netting both goals for the hosts. Given Stuttgart’s defensive vulnerabilities, particularly in away games, Zvezda’s attacking power should be enough to secure the win. Betting on Maksimović to score anytime, as well as both teams to score, seems like a strong wager.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
