Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Stuttgart are having an impressive season, continuing their battle for the UEFA Champions League places. However, while the hosts are confident at home, where they have lost only twice, the visitors often drop points away from home.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen
After two defeats, Bayer 04 Leverkusen responded and produced two consecutive victories — 2:0 against Köln and 3:1 against RB Leipzig. The squad are strong in attack, with 33 goals (only Bayern Munich have more), and they have scored in every home match. However, the side have problems in defence: over 15 rounds they have conceded 20 goals, which is the worst record among the top five clubs.
Stuttgart
Stuttgart are also having a strong season and, after two setbacks, beat Werder Bremen 4:0 and drew 0:0 with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. They show high attacking output, especially in away matches — 16 of their 25 goals have come on the road. However, away fixtures are not the most successful overall for the side: in eight away rounds they have only three wins, have conceded 14 of their 22 goals and have kept just two clean sheets.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs Stuttgart Prediction
Bayer 04 Leverkusen are strong at home and should at least avoid defeat. However, Stuttgart also have their strengths. Both teams are capable of scoring, and in defence each is likely to make at least one mistake that leads to a goal.
