Galatasaray and Stuttgart bring two attacks that can keep supplying the box after an initial goal. Galatasaray's press and wide service meet a Stuttgart side that can play through pressure even with a changed midfield. West Brom and Southampton should be a contest of direct home outlets against repeated away crosses and recovered balls. In each match, the next effective chance after a lead or equalizer matters more than the opening spell of possession.
Osimhen can meet Sara's delivery or a recycled corner, and Stuttgart have Undav, Demirović and El Khannouss to answer through the middle and wide areas. Stiller missed Stuttgart's latest match and remains out, yet Karazor and Prömel played the full game and the attack still reached good positions. Leão and Osimhen both played Galatasaray's latest match. The two sides have shown a second wave after a first goal, so I'm backing goals in Galatasaray against Stuttgart.
Southampton can use Manning's crossing, Azaz's final pass and Matsuki's work on second balls to answer West Brom's direct runs through Price and Myhre. Larin missed the last two matches, but Dobbin played most of the latest game and Downes returned for a short spell. Morgan left West Brom's last match injured after creating their strongest counterattacks; his start remains unconfirmed, while the other existing replacements have recent full games. Saints have kept creating with their current group and changed their press effectively against QPR. That's why I'm siding with Southampton to win or draw.
