Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen face each other in a highly-anticipated Bundesliga game at Mercedes-Benz Arena. Die Schwaben kicked off the new Bundesliga campaign with a 5-1 win over Greuther Furth, but they are on a three-game winless run ahead of the visit of Bayer Leverkusen. Considering that key attacker Sasa Kalajdzic remains in the recovery room, home win should not be considered. Defender Waldemar Anton will have to serve his one-match ban against Bayer Leverkusen.
The visitors, on the other hand, made a promising start to the season, and seeing that their display in a 4-3 loss to Borussia Dortmund was anything but poor, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Gerardo Seoane’s troops. Colombia defender Piero Hincapie returns from international duty, while Baumgartlinger, Tapsoba, and Fosu-Mensah are all sidelined with injuries. A man to watch in the away team will be Czech Republic striker Patrik Schick, who impressed at EURO 2020 finals.
