G.A. Eagles vs Stuttgart prediction: EUROPE: Europa League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-11-26 20:00.
[p]Go Ahead Eagles and Stuttgart are side by side in the UEFA Europa League (UEL) table heading into matchday five, ahead of an intriguing showdown in Deventer. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Go Ahead have laid some solid foundations in their first main draw UEL appearance, overcoming both Panathinaikos and Aston Villa to sit 21st going into the upcoming round of UEL fixtures. That leaves Melvin Boel’s side within the play-off places, and finishing there will continue their European adventure into February at least. They are experiencing a bit of a recent wobble though, having lost three of their last four matches in all competitions, but they have taken ten points from the last 12 on offer at home – including that victory over Villa – proving the Eagles to be formidable opposition at De Adelaarshorst. [/p]
[p]Stuttgart sit just above Go Ahead on goal difference, but the disparity between the German’s UEL home and away form this season has been stark. Having won both such matches in Germany, Die Roten have failed to score in both games on their travels in the competition this term. They could now face the prospect of three successive European defeats on the road for the first time since their UEFA Champions League group-stage campaign in 2007/08. Confidence should be reasonably high after recovering from 2-0 and 3-2 down to claim a 3-3 draw against Borussia Dortmund at the weekend, demonstrating their resilience under pressure. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This is Go Ahead’s first match against German opposition in a major European competition. Stuttgart are comparatively experienced in facing Dutch clubs, having done so 12 times (W6, D2, L4), including a 2-0 UEL win over Feyenoord earlier this season. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]In Go Ahead’s last six matches, the victor has only been ahead at half-time once. [/p]
[p]Seven of Go Ahead’s last eight goals conceded have come after the break. [/p]
[p]Stuttgart have scored at least one goal after the hour mark in their last six matches. [/p]
[p]Stuttgart have only kept two first-half clean sheets in their last seven games. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Dean James scored Go Ahead’s last home goal in a 2-1 win over Feyenoord earlier this month and has never been on the losing side when finding the net (W4, D1). Deniz Undav scored a stunning second-half hat-trick on Saturday at Dortmund, with six of his last seven Stuttgart goals coming after half-time.[/p]
[p]Go Ahead do not seem to have any fresh injury concerns, while Tiago Tomás may be a doubt for Stuttgart after coming off against Dortmund with an apparent knock. [/p]
