Internazionale on top, with Marcus Thuram our likeliest to test the keeper.
Our model gives Internazionale a 61% chance of winning this Champions League game. A VfB Stuttgart win is 19% and a draw 20%. Our predicted score is Internazionale 2–1 VfB Stuttgart (9%), though no one exact score is likely on its own. Our expected goals are 2.4 for Internazionale and 1.3 for VfB Stuttgart, 3.7 in all. Both teams scoring is 66% and three or more goals is 71%.
On shots, our forecast is 22.1 for Internazionale and 11.5 for VfB Stuttgart, with 6.3 and 4.6 on target, and corners at 6.7 to 3.6. So we expect Internazionale to do more of the shooting. Internazionale come in with five wins, no draws and one defeat in their last six. VfB Stuttgart have three wins, one draw and two defeats over the same run.
Marcus Thuram is the player we expect to shoot most: 3.7 shots and 1.2 on target for Internazionale, if they start. For cards, Tiago Tomás (VfB Stuttgart) has been booked once every 3 games in 2025/26, more often than anyone else here. Bawler's pick combines Internazionale or Draw, Internazionale Over 17.5 Shots and Marcus Thuram 1+ Shot on Target. We make the chance of all three coming in 48%, a fair price of 11/10 (2.10).
