Looking to officially extend on their Europa League adventure with another major statement, Stuttgart will welcome Celtic to Germany on Thursday evening.
Storming their way to an empathic first-leg advantage over in Glasgow last week, Die Roten are sat firmly in the driving seat and Thursday’s hosts have also gained a reputation for their action-packed affairs.
Putting in a nightmare performance on home soil last week and coming under a tremendous amount of scrutiny, the Scottish heavyweights are seeking what would be an iconic Europa League miracle in midweek.
Ahead of Thursday’s showdown from the MHPArena, we have taken a look at some of the most attractive Stuttgart vs Celtic Bet Builder Tips.
Stuttgart looking to make another statement
While Stuttgart might have travelled to Glasgow last week facing what could be a tricky test on foreign soil, Sebastian Hoeneb’s side putting in a dominant display at Celtic Park.
Bagging a quartet of strikes and returning to the MHPArena holding a commanding advantage, Die Roten will be looking to extend on their Europa League adventure with another public statement.
Despite eventually having to settle for an action-packed 3-3 stalemate away at Heidenheim over the weekend, Thursday’s guests have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous eight appearances across all competitions.
Signing off their Europa League group stage adventure with a rollercoaster 3-2 victory against Swiss giants BSC Young Boys, Stuttgart will also be excited by their extended success on home soil.
Along with winning all of their previous three straight matchups at the MHPArena by an aggregate score of 7-3, Stuttgart are also unbeaten in all of their last eight showdowns in front of their own supporters (six wins, two draws).

Celtic’s nightmare week in Glasgow
Although Celtic might have opened up their play-off adventure with their sights firmly set on clinching an essential first-leg advantage, Michael O’Neil’s men put in a nightmare performance in Glasgow.
Coming under a huge amount of scrutiny as they slumped to that 4-1 drumming, Thursday’s hosts have endured a public struggle over the past week.
Watching their Premiership title dreams take a major dent over the weekend as they were hit with a shock 2-1 defeat at home against Hibernian, the Hoops have suffered consecutive losses and have an almighty job on their hands here.
It should also be highlighted, O’Neil’s downbeat squad have also continued to show some rather glaring defensive issues on either side of opening the New Year.
Along with failing to record a clean sheet in any of their last five appearances across all competitions, the Scottish heavyweights have also come away unscathed in just one of their last nine outings.

Keep an eye on Undav
Only arriving at the MHPArena back in the summer of 2024 following a permanent switch from Brighton, Deniz Undav has certainly been a smash hit among Germany’s elite.
Continuing to shatter a string of records and looking set to feature for Germany at this summer’s World Cup over in North America, the 29-year-old is enjoying another prolific run.
Notching a 13th Bundesliga strike of the season during last weekend’s thrilling 3-3 stalemate against Heidenheim, Undav will spearhead Stuttgart’s charge on Thursday night and will be confident of testing an incredibly leaky Celtic defence.
In fact, Stuttgart’s attacking talisman has registered 24 direct goal contributions across all competitions so far this season (17 goals, seven assists). Likewise, Undav has recorded four direct goal contributions in his previous three showdowns at the MHPArena.
It should also be noted, the former Brighton striker has only failed to register a goal or assist in just one of his last eight appearances.
