THE PREDICTION
RB Leipzig ended the year in excellent form, winning six and drawing two of their last eight games in all competitions and keeping clean sheets in each of the last four. Their overall form in 2020 was equally impressive, with just three Bundesliga defeats in the past 12 months. A tough task, therefore, for Stuttgart, who have impressed since their return to the top flight. That said, the Swabians have collected the majority of their points away from home this season and are still without a league win at the Mercedes-Benz Arena, so this one should go the way of the visitors.
