The hosts can be pleased with their performance after a decade out of European competition. They may not have overachieved in the way that debutants Brest have, but to be in the fight right until the end is something to be proud of.
Going into this final round of fixtures, Sebastian Hoeness knows that his team can make the playoff round with a point. Visitors PSG are in the same boat, but coming off the back of coming back to beat Man City 4-2 last week, the French giants will be tempted to push for a win.
It could be a cagey one with both sets of supporters likely happy to take the point. For PSG to go out at the league phase would be an embarrassment. For Stuttgart to reach the playoff would be a cause for celebration. Both teams could go home happy if the scores are level come full-time.
Stuttgart vs Paris Saint-German Team News
Stuttgart are missing several players as Justin Diehl, Luca Raimund, El Bilal Toure and Dan-Axel Zagadou are ruled out due to injury.

Stuttgart vs Paris Saint-Germain Possible Lineups
The hosts will surely field their best possible X1 for what is arguably the biggest game in the club's recent history. They will be wary of sitting too deep and playing too narrow and will likely opt for their 4-4-2 instead of the 4-2-2-2 they sometimes utilise.
Stuttgart Predicted Lineup (4-4-2): Nubel; Vagnoman, Al-Dakhil, Hendriks, Mittelstadt; Millot, Karazor, Fuhrich, Leweling; Undav, Demirovic.
PSG have an abundance of attacking options capable of hurting Stuttgart, and we should see plenty of flair on the pitch in Germany midweek.
Paris Saint-Germain Predicted Lineup (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Luca Hernandez, Nuno Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Barcola, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.

Stuttgart vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction
Both teams know a draw is enough and that is very well how this thing could end up. The visitors of course possess more quality than the hosts, but they have been misfiring in Europe, and Stuttgart will have a raucous home crowd behind them in Bad Cannstadt.
Expect a draw with plenty of chances and goals.
Prediction: Stuttgart 2-2 Paris Saint-Germain
This clash should be a very worthwhile watch for the neutral with attacking prowess being the strong suit of both sides involved.
