VfB Stuttgart – Sparta Prague

- Sender: dazn
With 22 points from nine games, Sparta got off to a strong start in the domestic league and is in second place behind city rivals Slavia. Sparta also celebrated a 3-0 win against RB Salzburg in the Champions League. Stuttgart ultimately had to admit defeat to Real Madrid in a close match, but then underlined their strong form with a 5-1 win in the Bundesliga against Borussia Dortmund. There were several controversial referee decisions in the 2-2 draw against VfL Wolfsburg at the weekend.
Borussia Dortmund – Celtic Glasgow
- Kick-off: Tuesday, October 1st, 9 p.m
- Sender: Amazon Prime
Celtic have won all competitive games so far this season, both in the league and in the Champions League. BVB rehabilitated themselves after the 1:5 defeat in Stuttgart with a 4:2 against VfL Bochum. Dortmund and Glasgow met in the UEFA Cup in 1987 and 1992, with BVB winning three times and Celtic winning once.
:The late starter overtakes himself
After his move from VfB, Serhou Guirassy settled into Dortmund more quickly than expected. Four goals in four games fuel hopes of success in the Champions League – but also concerns that the striker will be gone all the quicker.
Bayer Leverkusen – AC Milan
- Kick-off: Tuesday, October 1st, 9 p.m
- Sender: dazn
After a shaky start to the season in Serie A, Milan were able to win their last three games, including the city derby against Inter Milan. At the start of the Champions League, however, there was a 1:3 defeat against Liverpool FC. The Werkself got off to a furious start in the premier class with a 4-0 win in Rotterdam and stabilized their defense, which had recently been shaky in the Bundesliga, in a 1-1 draw against FC Bayern. For Leverkusen and Milan it is the first meeting in a European competition.
:A hero for two weeks
Everything can change, even within a very short space of time: In Italian football, Milan’s sudden resurgence proves how result-dependent coaches’ fates are – with Paulo Fonseca, a certain stubbornness pays off.
