THE PREDICTION
Both these sides have had a relative dip in form in the last few weeks. RB Leipzig have won just one of their last four league games, which has effectively ended their title pursuit, and were beaten at relegation-threatened Koln in midweek. Stuttgart were also losers on Wednesday, going down to their fourth defeat in five games against Wolfsburg. Leipzig have not suffered back-to-back Bundesliga defeats since April 2018, though, and they have only lost twice at home in the league this season - to Bayern and Dortmund. They have also won four of their five previous meetings against Stuttgart. With the Swabians' campaign seemingly petering out and their young team perhaps tiring towards the end of an intense season, the hosts should be expected to win this one.
