Match Facts

  • VfB Stuttgart and Atalanta have never previously faced in European competition.

  • Stuttgart beat Italian side Juventus in the UEFA Champions League this season on MD3 – they’d only won one of their first 11 major European games against Italian teams beforehand (D4 L6).

  • After conceding 13 goals in six games across their last UEFA Champions League group stage in 2021-22, Atalanta have kept three clean sheets in three games in 2024-25. They’ve never kept four clean sheets in a single campaign before.

  • Only Manchester City (72) have had more shots than Stuttgart (65) in the UEFA Champions League this season. However, the German side are joint 10th for expected goals (6.17) – level with opponents Atalanta – having had the most shots from outside the box of any side (25).

  • Through the opening three matchdays of this season’s UEFA Champions League, 50% of the goalless draws involved Atalanta (2/4). No side in Champions League history has ever drawn three of their first four games in a campaign goalless.

  • Atalanta have won 50% of their away games in the UEFA Champions League (6/12) – among sides to play 10+ away games in the competition’s history, this is the best win ratio of any team.

  • Only Bayern München (42) and PSV (39) have forced more high turnovers in the UEFA Champions League this season than Stuttgart (36), with eight of those leading to shots, second only to PSV (9).

  • Atalanta have faced the fewest shots on target of any side in the UEFA Champions League this season (4), while opponents Stuttgart have had at least seven shots on target in all three of their games so far (7 v Real Madrid, 10 v both Sparta Prague and Juventus).

  • Davide Zappacosta has both had 3+ shots and created 3+ chances in his last two UEFA Champions League appearances for Atalanta, the only defender to do so in more than one game this season. Meanwhile, he’s one of only five players overall to do so, along with Viktor Gyökeres, Ousmane Dembélé, Morgan Rogers and Phil Foden (all two).

  • Enzo Millot has created more chances than any other Stuttgart player in the UEFA Champions League this season (10). Indeed, across the opening three matchdays this term, he was one of only two players to reach double figures, along with Paris SG’s Lee Kang-In (10).
