Stuttgart currently sits in 8th place, having accumulated 37 points from 10 wins, 7 draws, and 8 losses. In their last home match, they suffered a defeat to FC Bayern Munich (1-3). The previous match saw them drawing against Holstein Kiel (2-2). Notably, Stuttgart has performed better away from home; in their last 30 matches, they have achieved 6 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses as visitors, compared to 7 wins, 1 draw, and 7 losses at home. In their last 10 home fixtures in the league, Stuttgart has managed 5 wins and 5 losses, accruing 15 points from 30 available. Their home games have frequently seen a 0-1 scoreline at half-time (6 instances in 13 matches). While their defence has been vulnerable, conceding in 8 of the last 10 games, their attack has been consistently effective, scoring in 9 of those matches. Moreover, there is a trend for high-scoring games at home, with 10 of their last 13 matches resulting in over 2.5 goals. Out of 25 matches in the league this season, they conceded the first goal 10 times and only managed to stage a comeback twice.
Stuttgart enters this clash after their 2-2 draw. In the match against Kiel, the team’s goals were scored by Ermedin Demirovic and Jamie Leweling. Coach Sebastian Hoeness typically employs a 4-4-2 formation, with Deniz Undav and Nick Woltemade leading the attack. They often utilise the left flank for offensive plays, leveraging the runs of Maximilian Mittelstädt. However, they will be without Leonidas Stergiou, who is suspended, as well as Jeff Chabot, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Nikolas Nartey, Luca Jaquez, and Anrie Chase, all of whom have physical ailments.
Team analysis: Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen currently stands in 2nd place with 53 points, having achieved 15 victories, 8 draws, and only 2 defeats. In their penultimate match, they secured a convincing 4-1 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt. However, they faced a setback in their last match, losing at home to Werder Bremen (0-2). The team tends to thrive in home conditions, showing stronger performances in front of their fans. Over their last 30 matches, they have recorded 6 wins, 6 draws, and 3 defeats as visitors, scoring 22 goals while conceding 20. Conversely, at home, they have claimed 11 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, with a scoring total of 32 goals and just 12 conceded. In their recent UEFA Champions League match, they faced FC Bayern Munich, suffering a 0-2 defeat. Notably, in 10 matches outside the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen has not lost in the last 12 games. Their attack has scored in 7 of their last 10 league matches, exhibiting a high likelihood for goals in away games, with 11 of their last 12 matches ending with over 1.5 goals. In their 25 Bundesliga matches, they have conceded the first goal on 4 occasions but succeeded in turning the score around in 3 instances. A noticeable trend is that 5 of the 13 goals conceded away have occurred late in the match (between the 76th and 90th minutes).
Bayer Leverkusen enters this match following a demotivating 0-2 defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. In the last Bundesliga round, they were also defeated by Werder Bremen (0-2). The visiting team generally adopts a 3-4-3 tactical setup, favouring quick transitions, particularly down the flanks. The attacking trio usually comprises Patrik Schick, Amine Adli, and Emiliano Buendía, with Granit Xhaka operating as the midfield maestro, orchestrating their offensive moves. They will miss Martin Terrier, Florian Wirtz, and Jeanuël Belocian due to physical issues.
