Go Ahead Eagles
In the previous round, Melvin Bula's team suffered a 0-2 away defeat to Salzburg. Consequently, Go Ahead Eagles recorded their second loss in the group stage, marking the first time in six European matches that the team lost by more than one goal.

- The club has not won in 6 of their last 8 matches in European club competitions (2 draws, 4 losses).

Stuttgart
Sebastian Hoeneß's side defeated Feyenoord 2-0 at home in the last round. As a result, Stuttgart secured only their second win in the last six Europa League matches, and for only the second time in the last ten games in this competition, they managed to keep a clean sheet. With six points, the Germans occupy the 20th spot in the standings.
- The team's uncompromising streak in European competitions stands at ten matches (5 wins, 5 losses).

Match Prediction: Go Ahead Eagles vs. Stuttgart
In this clash, I do not anticipate a high-scoring game. Go Ahead Eagles generally do not excel in attack in European competitions: in their last eight European matches, the team only surpassed the one-goal mark twice and never scored more than two. Meanwhile, over the last six European club matches, the Dutch have conceded only seven goals in total.
Stuttgart often struggles to break down opponents' defenses on the road. In their last six away matches in European competitions, the team only managed to score more than one goal once, and in two away encounters in the current Europa League, the Swabians did not score at all. However, in only four of their last 11 away matches have the Germans conceded at least two goals.
My prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
