Stuttgart respect Bratislava: 'Good football' and 'a clear plan'

VfB Stuttgart don't see themselves as favourites when they visit Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday in the Champions League, coach Sebastian Hoeness has said. "We are facing the record champion from Slovakia which plays good football and has a clear plan. We experienced the atmosphere in Bratislava two years ago and know what we will be facing," Hoeness told reporters on Tuesday. Stuttgart won that league stage match 3-1 and hope for the same now. They started the campaign with a 3-1 over Viking Stavanger last month while Bratislava were crushed 6-1 by Barcelona in their opener.
