Bayer Leverkusen vs Stuttgart prediction

As the Bundesliga heats up, Bayer Leverkusen is set to face VfB Stuttgart this Friday night in what promises to be a thrilling match. The two sides already met in a dramatic Super Cup showdown earlier this season, where Leverkusen emerged victorious in a penalty shootout despite being reduced to 10 men. With both teams aiming for crucial points to improve their league standings, fans can expect an intense and highly competitive encounter.

Bayer Leverkusen has shown strong form in the Bundesliga, currently sitting in 3rd place with 15 points from 8 games. In those matches, they’ve secured four wins, three draws, and suffered just one loss, scoring 20 goals at an average of 2.50 per game. Their recent 2-2 draw against Werder Bremen highlighted their attacking strength but also exposed some defensive vulnerabilities, having conceded 15 goals so far this season. Despite these weaknesses, Leverkusen’s overall performances have been impressive, giving them a strong chance of at least taking a point from this match

VfB Stuttgart, on the other hand, sits in 8th place with 12 points from 8 matches. They recently secured a 2-1 victory over Holstein Kiel, showcasing their offensive prowess with an average of 2.13 goals per game, having netted 17 goals in total. However, defensive inconsistencies remain a concern, as they’ve conceded 16 goals this season. Stuttgart’s record of three wins, three draws, and two losses reflects a mix of solid performances and areas needing improvement as they aim for a higher position in the league.
