Prediction: 3-2
Stuttgart
Following a routine 3-0 DFB Pokal win over Elversberg, Bayer Leverkusen will look to return to winning ways in Bundesliga when they take on Stuttgart on Friday evening. The BayArena outfit aim to melt Bayern Munich’s advantage in the standings and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at die Schwaben. Xabi Alonso mixed the squad for the German Cup clash, but the Spanish tactician is going to field the best possible side against Stuttgart, with all Alex Grimaldo, Florian Wirtz, and Victor Boniface returning to the starting XI.
The visitors, on the other hand, survived Kaiserslautern in the German Cup last 32, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Leverkusen. Considering that Stuttgart have suffered six defeats in the previous eight meetings with Bayer Leverkusen at BayArena in all competitions, home win should be considered. Adding to their woes, defender Julian Chabot is banned for the visiting side.
