Comparative Team Statistics: Inter vs VfB Stuttgart

A lopsided group table so far

In the Champions League group phase, Stuttgart have made the better start. They've won both matches played, scored six and conceded only once, which has them handily placed in fourth.

Inter's start has been tougher. Two games in, they've lost both and shipped six goals, leaving them down in 29th. That's about results so far, not reputation.

Inter will want to arrest that slide at home against a side already playing with confidence in Europe.

Stuttgart's sharpest attacking names

The player data we have highlights Edin Demirović, credited with three goals, and Deniz Undav, credited with two assists, in the matches covered. Both suggest Stuttgart have some punch going forward.

VfB Stuttgart:

Best scorers:

E. Demirović - 3

Best assist providers:

D. Undav - 2

We don't have equivalent figures for Inter's squad here, so a direct personnel comparison isn't possible. This is a partial list too, not confirmation of who'll actually feature a month from now.

A tricky one to call this far out

With Stuttgart handily placed in the group phase and Inter down near the foot of the standings, there's an obvious incentive for the home side to put things right in front of their own fans.

Form elsewhere suggests both squads can score goals, so this doesn't look like a fixture that needs to be cagey. A month out, though, selection and fitness could easily change the picture before kickoff.
