The full list for the night sits on our Champions League predictions page, and our bet of the day page tracks the strongest single selection. If you want to back a pick, the 22Bet Nigeria review covers the welcome offer and how to register.
Stuttgart have scored freely at home and will press high. Atletico are experienced in away European games and are comfortable defending a lead, so a tight game decided by one goal is realistic. Whether Lookman is used from the start or as an impact substitute could shape how Atletico attack in the second half.
