The final matchday of the inaugural UEFA Champions League (UCL) league phase throws up an intriguing clash between two teams currently clinging onto a top-24 spot. Stuttgart embody that perfectly as they sit 24th and two points inside the knockout round play-off spots knowing only a win here will guarantee them a position in the knockout stages, but they have at least found some form in the competition, winning their last two UCL games.
You’d have to go back to 2003 for the last time they won three successive games in Europe’s premier club competition, and their warm-up for their history attempt wasn’t great as they were beaten 2-0 by Mainz at the weekend. Returning home doesn’t promise to offset their disappointment either, as their 5-1 matchday six win against Young Boys was their only victory from their last ten European home games (D6, L3).
PSG are tied with Stuttgart on ten points but sit a couple of places higher up the table owing to a superior goal difference. Their position could’ve been a lot worse had it not been for a stunning 4-2 comeback win against Manchester City on matchday seven, where the Parisians battled from 2-0 down in the 55th minute to incredibly win 4-2 and give themselves an outside shot at even being a seeded side in the knockout round play-offs.
The French side failed to garner the momentum at the weekend with a 1-1 home draw against Reims, but they remain handsomely clear at their domestic summit. That means they can put full focus on securing the win that will 100% secure their safe passage here, and encouragingly on that front, PSG have won their final group/league phase game in five of their last six UCL campaigns (D1).
Players to watch: Enzo Millot has been directly involved in five UCL goals for Stuttgart this season (G2, A3), the most by any player for the club in a single campaign, while PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé may be out to make a late impact having scored all four of his away goals this term after half-time.
Hot stat: PSG have lost eight of their 13 UCL away games against German opposition (W3, D2).
