Christian Gross takes charge of Stuttgart for the first time needing a win over Unirea Urziceni to reach the last 16.
Unirea need only a point to book their place in the knockout stages and they could even win Group G if they triumph in Germany and Sevilla lose to Rangers.
Stuttgart, who sacked manager Markus Babbel last weekend due to their dismal domestic form, are two points behind Unirea knowing nothing more than a victory will do if they are to stay in the Champions League.
Gross is without injured trio Thomas Hitzlsperger (thigh), Roberto Hilbert (knee) and Martin Lanig (knee) as he prepares for his first game in charge.
The Swiss coach is also sweating over the fitness of front pair Cacau (groin) and Zdravko Kuzmanovic (thigh) as well as Sami Khedira (foot) and Arthur Boka (thigh)
Unirea make the trip to Germany without Brazilian midfielder Ricardo Vilana due to a knee injury.
Dan Petrescu is also without the suspended Vasile Maftei, while George Galamaz is doubtful with an ankle problem.
