Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Leipzig will try to recover from a 3-2 loss to Bayer Leverkusen when they face Stuttgart in the Bundesliga round 2. The Red Bulls have been involved in some high-scoring affairs at the start of the season and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be summer recruit Lois Openda, who opened his goalscoring account in the BayArena defeat, whereas all Peter Gulacsi, Amadaou Haidara, and Caden Clark remain in the recovery room.
Die Schwaben, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 5-0 win over Bochum, but given their five-game losing run at Red Bull Arena, we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp in Friday’s clash. As for the visiting side, all Mavropanos, Bredlow, Undav, Nartey, Vagnoman, and Kastanaras remain on the sidelines with injuries.
