Game Preview
Leverkusen has obligations in the Champions League next weekend (so does Stuttgart), so it was logical that they played earlier than other Bundesliga teams. Despite not posting a loss for quite a while, Xabi Alonso’s unit has not been too confident recently.
Bayer won only three times in the previous seven events, with the other four matchups ending in a tie. The Bundesliga champions have allowed too many goals this year and have not kept a clean sheet in seven of the previous ten.
Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen won the club's first Bundesliga title, the DFB Pokal, and only lost one game (the Europa League final) in 53 games last season 😮

As for Stuttgart, Die Schwaben have started to rise their form. Three wins in a row over various competitions are enough proof of that. Beating Juve 0-1 on the road might be lucky, yet wins over Hosten Kiel and Kaiserslautern in DFB Pokal aren’t.
They, too, score and allow too many goals. In eight of the last ten games, goals were scored on both sides of the field.
Leverkusen vs. Stuttgart Head-to-Head
The two sides met in the Super Cup this year, and even though Stuttgart had a two-goal lead, they would lose that event. Leverkusen came back to equalize and win on penalties.
Leverkusen vs. Stuttgart Prediction
Lever is ruthless at home, and despite Stuttgart’s solid form, we pick the home team to triumph here.
