Lille desperately need points on Wednesday, Dec 9 at 9:00 PM in the League Stage. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

VfB Stuttgart come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 0L). Lille travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes VfB Stuttgart clear favorites, but Lille have shown they can grind out results. Expect VfB Stuttgart to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
