The
UEFA Champions League group stage will be continued with the fixtures of the second matchday. On Tuesday
FC Unirea Urziceni hosts
VfB Stuttgart in group G. Both clubs started not by wish, Unirea going down 2-0 at Sevilla while Stuttgart drew at home against Glasgow Rangers.
The Romanian champion Unirea Urziceni started the UEFA Champions League group stage with a 0-2 away defeat against FC Sevilla, but their performance was not bad. In the home game against Stuttgart the UEFA Champions League debutants will get their first points. Last Friday Unirea celebrated a 4-1 win in the national championship over Astra Ploiesti. It was the fifth season win in the league (5 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats), at home they are unbeaten. But the Champions League home matches plays Unirea in the bigger "Steaua Stadium" and not in their own „Tineretului Stadium".
In contrast to Unirea Stuttgart had to qualify for the group stage. Stuttgart, third in the Bundesliga season 2008-09, met in the play-offs FC Timişoara, last season runner-up in the Romanian championship. VfB won 2-0 away through goals from Timo Gebhart and Aleksandr Hleb, the second leg in Stuttgart ended goalless. In the opening fixture of the group stage Stuttgart drew at home against Glasgow Rangers. In the Bundesliga table Stuttgart faces after 7 matchdays only a midfield rank (2 wins, 2 draws, 3 defeats). Last Saturday they beat Eintracht Frankfurt with 3-0. Two goals scored the 20 years old forward Julian Schieber. Against Unirea he will be probably for the first time in Champions League in the starting eleven.
