Stuttgart hold a 3-point advantage in the provisional table, but the strongest evidence is the contrast between their unbeaten home record and Atletico Madrid’s 0W 0D 1L away record.
Before kickoff
A table lead, but a clear home-away contrast
In the provisional UEFA Champions League standings, VfB Stuttgart are ranked #4 with 6 points from 2 games (2W 0D 0L), while Atletico Madrid are ranked #15 with 3 points from 2 games (1W 0D 1L). Stuttgart are 3 points ahead of Atletico Madrid (6 v 3). Paris Saint Germain lead with 6 points, level with Stuttgart on points rather than ahead of them. The League Stage - 3 fixture is at MHP Arena on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at 19:00 UTC.
The supplied home-and-away records sharpen the pre-match question. Stuttgart have won 1 and lost 0 of their home games this league season, scoring 3 goals and conceding 1. Atletico have lost their only away game, scoring 1 goal and conceding 2. Neither side has kept a clean sheet in that respective scope.
Two different teams?

VfB Stuttgart’s home record compared with Atletico Madrid’s away record this league season Season data from the article’s source snapshot; this chart is not a statistic for this match alone.
Form and availability shape the test
The recent-form sample is 2 matches for each team: Stuttgart’s most recent sequence is Win, Win, while Atletico’s is Loss, Win. That gives the hosts the stronger short-term record, but does not establish a longer trend.
Stuttgart will be without A. Al Dakhil, J. Diehl, S. Drljaca and L. Stergiou. M. Mittelstadt, N. Nartey, T. Tomas and D. Zagadou are questionable. Atletico will be without J. Cardoso through illness and Koke through a muscle injury.
At kickoff, can Stuttgart convert their home scoring record into another effective attacking display against an Atletico side with 0 away wins this league season?
