Leverkusen vs Stuttgart Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 31 October 2026
🔊 Bayer 04 Leverkusen are yet to drop a point at the BayArena this season, while Stuttgart are enduring their worst Bundesliga start under Sebastian Hoeneß. The gap between the two sides has already reached seven points, despite both clubs targeting Champions League places before the campaign began. There is an added edge to the fixture given their recent history: Stuttgart beat Leverkusen twice in the last Bundesliga season. Bayer now have a good opportunity for revenge, though both sides will be playing with a congested schedule after midweek cup fixtures.
Stuttgart have won their last two matches
📊 Across 41 head-to-head meetings, Bayer 04 Leverkusen have won 26 times, Stuttgart have won seven, and eight have ended in draws. Leverkusen's historical advantage is impressive, but in recent years the two sides have been far more evenly matched. What's more, Stuttgart have won the last two meetings, scoring at least three goals in both.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen: a fortress at home
Bayer 04 Leverkusen sit fourth in the Bundesliga with 13 points from seven matches. Carles Martínez's side have won four, drawn one and lost two. They are among the most prolific teams in the division, averaging 2.29 goals per match. Their defence, however, has not matched the club's ambitions: 12 goals conceded in seven games is too many for a side with Champions League aspirations.
At home, though, they have been a different proposition. Three home matches have brought nine points, eight goals scored and just one conceded. Bayer 04 Leverkusen have already shown they can perform confidently against sides from the upper end of the table, so Stuttgart's current difficulties offer a good opportunity to strengthen their position in the top four.

Stuttgart's Worst Start Under Hoeness
Stuttgart find themselves unexpectedly down in 15th place in the Bundesliga, having picked up just six points from seven matches. Five defeats and two wins represent their worst start since Sebastian Hoeneß was appointed in spring 2023. The drop-off in attack has been particularly noticeable - they have scored ten goals. The defence has also been a regular problem, conceding an average of 1.86 goals per game.
Away from home the situation is even more difficult - three defeats in four matches, with four goals scored and eight conceded. Stuttgart still have quality players in attack, but the consistency in finishing that they previously showed is missing. The team have had some success in the Champions League, but in the Bundesliga they have been dropping points far too often. Now they face a side that is yet to lose at home this season and regularly creates a large number of chances.

Total Goals Prediction
In their Bundesliga home matches this season, Bayer 04 Leverkusen have scored eight goals in three matchdays. They have averaged 2.67 goals per game and have not once left the pitch without scoring at least two. Patrick Schick has already netted six goals in the current league campaign, making him the hosts' primary threat in the final third.
Stuttgart concede an average of two goals per away match, and their defence is particularly vulnerable against opponents with a strong attack. Leverkusen are well placed to exploit their visitors' defensive issues, especially given how regularly they create enough chances at home for a comfortable win. The pick is Bayer 04 Leverkusen Team Total - Over 2 Goals at 1.75*.
Corners Prediction
Over the first seven matchdays, Stuttgart's matches have averaged 12.43 corners in total, with at least 10 recorded in 6 of those 7 games. Stuttgart themselves average 6.57 corners per match, regularly creating pressure in the opposition box. Bayer 04 Leverkusen are also active in winning set pieces, averaging 6.71 corners per game. At home, Leverkusen have maintained a high intensity: at least 10 corners were recorded in 6 of their last 7 home league matches. Our pick: Total Corners - Over 9.5 at 1.50*.
Yellow Cards Prediction
Over seven rounds, Stuttgart have picked up just eight yellow cards in total. In six of those matches, their players received no more than two bookings. Away from home, the team rarely get involved in confrontations with opponents.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen prefer to control the ball and regularly force opponents to defend, but that does not necessarily lead to a high number of fouls. Stuttgart are capable of handling that pressure through positional play, and excessive aggression against technically gifted hosts could result in dangerous set-pieces. We're backing Stuttgart Team Total Yellow Cards - Under 2.5 at 1.41*.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Bayer 04 Leverkusen have a fine opportunity to take advantage of the difficulties facing one of last season's rivals for European places. Leverkusen have been flawless at home so far. Stuttgart, by contrast, are struggling badly away from home.
The head-to-head record shows that Stuttgart are capable of competing with more technically accomplished opponents and have players who can punish the hosts for the slightest mistake. Leverkusen will surely be looking to avenge their two defeats last season, but ruling out a Stuttgart goal entirely would be unwise. Predicted score: 3-1. Main bet: Total Goals - Over 3.5.
