Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen Predictions, Tips & Predictions

Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen
German Bundesliga
Date: Saturday, October 3, 2024
Starts at 14pm UK / 30pm CET
Venue: Mercedes-Benz Arena.

The Company's Eleven have been one of the best teams in the competition in recent years and have been regular contenders for a spot in the top four. They missed out on a place in the Champions League last season, and that too by a hair.

They had to settle for a fifth-place finish, just two points short of the final threshold for a UCL entry. This should motivate them to collect as many points as possible at any cost, and not miss out on Europe's most prestigious tournament again.

However, they have had some trouble scoring three points in the table so far and this weekend looks like the perfect opportunity to start their winning streak.

The reason is that they face a newly promoted and inexperienced Reds team. Pellegrino Matarazzo's men are not only new to the top flight, but also have a lower h2h record against that opponent over the years.

As such, expect a dominant performance from Bayer Leverkusen this Saturday.

Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen: head-to-head (h2h)

• Peter Bosz's men have won seven of their last eight overall.
• They also recorded 13 of their previous 14 overall wins.
• The last three games at this stadium were zero wins for the guests.
• Ten years have passed since the local team won at this stadium.

Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen: prediction

Matarazzo's charges had won a 1-4 away from home in the last round, against Stuttgart. Meanwhile, Onze da Companhia recorded a 1-1 home draw against Leipzig.

As it stands, Bosz's men have the upper hand. They have been one of the best sides in the Bundesliga in recent years, and even finished just two points short of the UCL cap in 2019-20.

This fact would fuel them even more to go after a podium this time around, and it would make them extremely dangerous, especially against newly promoted teams like the Reds.

Furthermore, Bosz's men also have a phenomenal h2h record against this rival over the years. In fact, they have won seven of the previous eight h2h matches and have also recorded 13 of the previous 14 overall wins.

And at this place, they've been on a winning streak to zero since 2016, and the last loss here was in 2010.

As such, we expect Bayer Leverkusen to put on a great performance this Saturday at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
