Match snapshot and momentum
The Europa League clash at MHPArena on 11/12/2025 shapes up as a clear-cut affair on paper. VfB Stuttgart arrive with momentum from the group stage — nine points from five games, eight goals scored and only four conceded — and a Bundesliga schedule that has tested them against the best, most recently yielding a heavy 0-5 loss to FC Bayern München but also featuring convincing wins over VfL Bochum and Go Ahead Eagles. By contrast, Maccabi Tel Aviv stand rooted to the bottom of the group with a solitary point, an alarming one goal scored and 14 conceded in five fixtures. Recent domestic results for the visitors underline their fragility, culminating in a 1-0 defeat to Hapoel Be'er Sheva.
The bookmakers reflect that gulf: Stuttgart are overwhelming favorites at roughly 1.19 on the match winner market, translating to an implied probability above 80 percent. Maccabi’s road form and overall defensive record in the competition make their task uphill; their matches have been high-scoring affairs for opponents, and they have struggled to contain quality opposition like Olympique Lyonnais, who hammered them 6-0.
Tactical outlook and what to expect
Expect Stuttgart to take control of tempo and territory. Home statistics point to a side averaging healthy attacking numbers — total shots and shots inside the box are in their favour — and a capacity to generate dangerous attacks that should cause problems for a Maccabi side that concedes frequently. Maccabi have shown glimpses of resilience in domestic fixtures but in European competition they have leaked goals and failed to translate possession into convincing attacking returns. With no head-to-head history to temper assumptions, the safe read is that Stuttgart’s balance and home advantage will impose themselves early and often.
Given the recent formlines and the stark contrast in defensive records, a prudent approach is to back the most likely outcome rather than chase exotic markets.
