Stuttgart – Porto Tip Europa League, Round of 16, first leg on Thursday, 12/03/26 at 18:45 CET
What a cracker in the round of 16 of the Europa League! For my Stuttgart Porto tip, I took a close look at the first leg in the MHP Arena. Both teams are in great form nationally and of course want to take the next step in Europe.
For this game, I have a clear tendency and commit myself to the bet “Both teams to score”. Porto have impressive offensive statistics and almost always score, even if the results away in Europe have been mixed recently.
Stuttgart vs. Porto AI predictions:
If you want to take a little more risk, our digital brain has three more interesting options ready in its Stuttgart Porto AI prediction.
A home win for VfB (odds approx. 2.10) is definitely worth considering, because Stuttgart are a real bench at home. In the MHP Arena, Sebastian Hoeneß’s boys have only lost three of 18 games this season.
In the Europa League, they even won four of their five home games, scoring a strong 2.2 goals per game on average.
Predicted chance of winning:
| Victory Stuttgart |
Draw |
Victory Porto |
| 44.5% |
26.3% |
29.2% |
Another exciting bet is “Over 2.5 goals” at odds around 1.80. Stuttgart’s games are often a guarantee for many goals. The team plays a very attacking style and always looks for the fastest way to the goal, which leads to high-scoring encounters.
Since it can be assumed that two teams will meet at eye level here, the AI finally brings the bet “draw at halftime” into play.
What you need to consider when betting on Stuttgart vs. Porto
