Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
MHPArena will host an eagerly-awaited Bundesliga game between Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen, the two teams who sit in top three in the standings. Die Schwaben faced no difficulties in a 2-0 win over Werder Bremen, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the BayArena outfit. Barring any fresh injury worries, Sebastian Hoeness is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated die Werderaner.
Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, are eager to retain top position in the standings. The league leaders came from behind to share the spoils with Borussia Dortmund at the weekend, with Victor Osimhen once again proved his worth. As yet another important striker Patrik Schick has overcome his injury, we are tempted to put our money on the title-chasing visitors. Xabi Alonso has a full squad to choose from except for goalkeeper Arthur, who remains in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Granit Xhaka):
Granit Xhaka is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most talented central midfielders at the moment and he is on the radar of quite a few high-profile sides. Just two seasons at FC Basel proved enough to attract interest from Borussia M’gladbach, who secured his signature in the summer of 2012.
The Switzerland international had a slow start to his career in Germany, causing many pundits to start doubting his credentials, but he eventually turn things around to show he is more than capable of playing at the highest level. Acting as a deep-lying playmaker, Xhaka impressed fans and pundits alike with his performances in Bundesliga and European competitions, and he even managed to score a couple of important goals in the process.
Despite his fragile age, the highly regarded footballer has been a key member of the Switzerland national team for quite some time now, scoring 6 goals in his first 40 caps to establish himself as a real leader of the Rossocrociati. The 2014 World Cup, where he scored one goal in four starts, should prove just the first of many major tournaments to come.
