Bayer Leverkusen vs. Stuttgart: Current situation
Bayer Leverkusen is not as dominant as it was last season but their aggressiveness and creativity is still there. Xabi Alonso’s team had a couple of bumps in the road and is currently third in the Bundesliga. They wasted a couple of points here and there and the Black and Reds will need to pick up the pace in order to have a shot at winning another title. Scoring is not a problem as usual, but the defense has shown some signs of vulnerability which Bundesliga teams know how to take advantage of.
It’s been a while since Stuttgart played a major role in the Bundesliga, and after finishing in the top four last season, the Swabians are one step behind that spot. Stuttgart is undefeated at home, but winning only one of four games on the road has cost them a few spots in the standings. However, Stuttgart is a great offensive team and can create scoring opportunities seemingly out of nowhere. The next couple of rounds will be a real crossroads for them, so we can expect to see the best out of this team.
Bayer Leverkusen Stats & Form
After losing to Leipzig in the second matchday of the season, Bayer Leverkusen started a new undefeated run that currently stands at nine games. They scored four goals in three consecutive wins following that loss but now are coming off back-to-back draws against Brest in the Champions League and Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. Leverkusen leads the league with 157 shots on goal and 3 penalties and is ranked second with 20 scored goals and 6 shots against post and bar.
Stuttgart Stats & Form
Stuttgart made a lot of noise last season in the Bundesliga, and many believed that they may be in the title race. Things do not look that promising at the moment, but this team definitely deserves all the respect. The 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich was a huge hit, but Stuttgart showed their character and bounced back with back-to-back wins, 1-0 against Juventus on the road in the Champions League and 2-1 against Holsten Kiel in the last Bundesliga round.

Betting tip and prediction: Crystal Palace – Liverpool (05.10.2024)
Both Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart have very busy seasons as they compete both in the Bundesliga and the Champions League. Leverkusen was unbeatable last season, winning the first title in the club’s history and the first one to do it without losing a single game in the season. The Factory XI already lost a game this season and have a considerable deficit compared to the top teams in the league after eight games into the season. Stuttgart is visiting Leverkusen for the weekend, coming off back-to-back wins in both competitions. They are barely hanging on in the top half of the standings, but their confidence is sky-high and they will definitely look for a victory in this one. Stuttgart could not hang on against Bayern in Munich and will try to use that experience for a better result in Leverkusen. Defenders Jeff Chabot and Dan-Axel Zagadou will not be available for coach Sebastian Hoeness, just like strikers Justin Diehl and Chris Fuhrich. Leverkusen will miss their leading scorer Victor Boniface and midfielder Amine Adli. However, the main problem for Leverkusen can be the rumors that Real Madrid is going after their head coach, Xabi Alonso, who spent five years playing for Los Blancos. Anyway, this will be an intense game from the very beginning, and we go with both teams to score and total over 2.5 goals.
