Despite missing several players due to injury, Stuttgart head coach Markus Babbel is optimistic about his side's chances against Sevilla.
Stuttgart may have lost to the Rojiblancos a fortnight ago, but they scored a good draw with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga last weekend.
"The game against Bayern gave us a bit of a boost," Babbel told reporters. "We were solid at the back, didn't allow them to create many chances and, at the same time, managed to forge some openings of our own.
"If we can play that way against Sevilla, and maybe repeat the sort of performance we put in during the home game against them two weeks ago, then we have the class needed to take something positive back to Stuttgart from Spain."
Aside from Cacau, Martin Lanig, Sami Khedira, Ricardo Osorio and Christian Trasch, who are all carrying injuries, the team took off without striker Ciprian Marica, too.
The Romanian international is suffering with a groin problem and has remained in Stuttgart for treatment.
