Bayer Leverkusen in need of a win
Leverkusen have had a dip in form recently and they paid the price by dropping down the table to 5th place just outside a UEFA Champions League spot. They are on a two game losing streak and have just one win in their last seven games.
Bayer had a humiliating loss in the DFB Pokal (German Cup) as well to lower tier side Rot-Weiss Essen who came from behind to eliminate Leverkusen from the competition.
They have failed to score in three of their last four matches.
Stuttgart
Stuttgart also have been going through rough times but they will have more confidence going into this match after they beat Mainz 2-0 in their last match.That was coach Matarazzo’s team’s first clean sheet in six games.
Die Schwaben have lost two of their last three away games. Their last away win was an impressive 4-1 victory at Augsburg. They will hope to find that form again going into this match .
Key Stats
Bayer Leverkusen vs Stuttgart Prediction
As we can see from the statistics in their recent games, Bayer Leverkusen are not scoring enough goals. Three goals in five matches is very low scoring efficiency.
Stuttgart did win their last match 2-0 but they haven’t scored more than two in four games.
Given the importance of the match for Leverkusen, we think it will be a tight match thus we predict under 3.5 goals is a good bet considering it pays 1.61 or 8/13.
