Stuttgart vs Celtic Prediction & BETTING TIPS - 26/02/2026

Stuttgart will look to book their spot in the Europa League last 16 when they welcome Celtic to their MHPArena on Thursday evening. As Die Schwaben have turned their MHP Arena into a real fortress, we predict a 3-1 home win. Stuttgart have been scoring goals for fun of late, with the team crushing Celtic 4-1 in Glasgow to move one step closer towards the last 16. Their expected goals of 1.93 at home definitely supports our betting prediction. Midfielder Angelo Stiller is a major doubt after picking up a knock in a thrilling Bundesliga draw (3-3) with Heidenheim, while defender Jeff Chabot serves a one-game ban.The Hoops, on the other hand, will have a mountain to climb in Germany as they need to overcome a three-goal deficit away from home. Given Celtic’s recent defensive struggles (conceding 1.60 goals per game), we are not tempted to place our bets on the underdogs. The likes of Jota, Engels, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, and Osmand miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
