Stuttgart take an unbeaten Champions League start to Galatasaray in the clubs' first UEFA meeting. The fourth-round fixture begins at 00:45 Vietnam time on 4 November, after being listed on the evening of 3 November in UEFA's European schedule.
Galatasaray earned their first points by beating Lille. Bongda24h's preview highlights the hosts' need to build on that result against visitors who have collected seven points from three games.
Defensive records tell different stories
Galatasaray lost 3-1 to Sporting CP and 4-1 to Barcelona before a 4-2 win at Lille. The official results add up to six goals scored and nine conceded, with three points and no clean sheet.
Stuttgart beat Viking 3-1 and Slovan Bratislava 3-0 before drawing 1-1 with Atlético Madrid. They have seven goals for and two against, taking points from every match so far. The comparison covers the same three rounds rather than predicting the next score.
Records behind the first encounter
UEFA notes that Galatasaray have not won any of their last nine European home matches against German opposition, drawing five and losing four. Stuttgart have scored in their last 11 Champions League group-stage or league-phase away games.
Victor Osimhen also has an individual landmark within reach. His eight goals for Galatasaray in the main competition leave him two behind Burak Yılmaz in second place on the club's list, according to UEFA.
The next test comes at 00:45 on 4 November for viewers in Vietnam. Galatasaray seek a second win, while Stuttgart aim to maintain their unbeaten sequence through a fourth round.
