Our prediction for this Germany Super Cup match:
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at BayArena when Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart square off against each other in the German Super Cup. Xabi Alonso’s men did well to win the Bundesliga title last term and, no doubt, they want to continue where they left. The likes of Martin Terrier, Aleix Garcia, and Jeanuel Belocian have joined the BayArena outfit, while centre-forward Sardar Azmoun is no longer part of the team.
Die Schwaben, on the other hand, enjoyed a very successful preseason, with the team beating the likes of Fortuna Sittard (3-0), Kyoto (5-3), Hiroshima (5-2), and Athletic Bilbao (4-0) in style. As Stuttgart are likely to stick to their attacking style of play in the German Super Cup, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. A man to watch in the away team will be Deniz Undav as top scorer Serhou Guirassy has joined Borussia Dortmund earlier this summer.
