Slovan Bratislava - VfB Stuttgart

Slovan Bratislava welcome VfB Stuttgart to the National Football Stadium on 14 October 2026 for their second match of the Champions League group stage. The hosts look to steady their campaign after a difficult opening result against Paris Saint-Germain, relying on an expected attacking trio of Suleiman Camara, Andraz Sporar, and Tigran Barseghyan to unsettle the visitors. Slovan have experienced a mixed run of domestic form recently, including a draw against Skalica and a narrow win over Komarno, which highlights the defensive challenges they face when stepping up to European competition.

VfB Stuttgart arrive in Slovakia following a solid victory over Paderborn in the Bundesliga. While the visitors must manage the absences of Maximilian Mittelstaedt, Jeff Chabot, and Tiago Tomas, their expected XI features a potent attacking setup led by Deniz Undav and Ermedin Demirovic. Stuttgart previously defeated Slovan Bratislava in this competition in January 2025, and they will look to maintain that momentum in this encounter.
