Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Saturday’s football game at MHPArena pits together Stuttgart and Leipzig, the two teams who were beaten by Bochum and Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend. Die Schwaben are eager to stay in the Champions League berth, but they head into the match with a severely-weakened squad. All Serhou Guirassy, Silas Katompa Mvumpa, Woo-yeong Jeong, and Hiroki Ito are on international duty, while midfielder Atakan Karazor is banned due to the accumulation of yellow cards. Both Nikolas Nartey and Lilian Egloff miss out with injuries.
The Red Bulls, on the other hand, aim to make amends for the 3-2 loss to Leverkusen and given the number of absentees in the home team, we predict that Louis Openda and Co. are going to pick up all three points from the match. Xavi Simons is sidelined through suspension, while fellow midfielder Amadou Haidara is on international duty. Defender Willi Orban remains on the sidelines with a knee injury.
