Prediction: 2-1
Leipzig
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Augsburg, Stuttgart will be aiming to move closer to the Champions League berth when they take on Leipzig on Matchday 17. Die Schwaben are eager to represent in Germany in the elite competition for yet another season and they must be high on confidence following a fine performance at WWK Arena. As both Deniz Undav and Jamie Leweling have recovered from their respective injuries, home win should be considered.
The Red Bulls, on the other hand, aim to build on a 4-2 win over Werder Bremen. Leipzig, though, are not regarded as good travellers and given Amadou Haidara’s suspension, home win should definitely be considered. The likes of Henrichs, Lukeba, Oudraogo, and Poulsen are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side. It has to be noted that in their last encounter at MHPArena, Stuttgart recorded a thrilling 5-2 win over Leipzig.
