Stuttgart vs Leverkusen Prediction
🔊 We are in for a candidate for the central highlight of the Bundesliga round. The strongest teams of last season are meeting. Stuttgart will host Bayer at the “MHP Arena”. The “Pharmacists” are finishing the championship without much motivation, but the “Swabians” have plenty of it - they need to qualify for the European competitions. However, despite this, the bookmakers see the reigning champion as the favorites.

H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results

Stuttgart Team Overview
⚪ Stuttgart is in the middle of the table, and their form leaves much to be desired. The last 10 matches have brought the team only 3 victories with 5 defeats. The average scoring rate for the "Swabians" is 1.3 goals per match, but the defense concedes more - an average of 1.8 goals.
🔗 The hosts are fighting for a place in European competitions but continue to drop points in unnecessary situations. In the last round, they couldn't beat Holstein Kiel (2:2), having been reduced to ten men early on.
📢 “We had a bad first half and then were left shorthanded, but I liked the reaction to the sending off. I saw the team as I wanted it to be. The second half was good despite the difficult situation,” said Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeneß after the match.
❌ Among the recent losses for the hosts, we highlight Leonidas Stergiou, who received a red card in the last round. Dan-Axel Zagadou and Nicolas Nartey are also injured, but Jeff Chabot has returned to training after illness.

Bayer Leverkusen Team Overview
🔴 Bayer is showing confident play this season, with no significant downturn. The team holds high positions in the table and scores an average of 1.4 goals per game over the last 10 matches. The "pharmacists'" defense is also reliable, conceding only 1.1 goals per match. However, Xabi Alonso's men have failed in their recent games.
🔗 This season, Bayer is left to compete only for the DFB-Pokal. They did not take advantage of Bayern's slip in the last Bundesliga round, losing to Werder (0:2), and during the week lost to the Munich team in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 (0:2). A 0:5 aggregate score is a serious blow to the pride of the reigning German champion.
📣 “In a difficult situation, with a large number of injuries, we tried to do everything possible. In any case, the season is not over yet,” said a disappointed Xabi Alonso after the defeat.
❌ Referring to injuries, the Spaniard primarily meant Florian Wirtz. The leader of the "pharmacists'" attack sustained an injury in the game against Werder. Mario Hermoso also has a fresh injury. Jeanuel Belocian and Martin Terrier have been out of play for a considerable time.

Editorial Prediction
Considering the current form of the teams and their statistics, the match promises to be intense and high-scoring. Stuttgart is aiming to improve their results on home turf, but Bayer is clearly not intending to continue losing either. The trend of a total over 2.5 goals in the home games of the "Swabians" and the high scoring rate of the "Pharmacists" away allows us to predict that this match will have more than 2.5 goals. In the first round match, the teams delivered an unusual goalless draw, but prior to that, they scored at least four goals combined in three consecutive head-to-head meetings.
