THE PREDICTION

Clearly RB Leipzig have had a productive winter break under Domenico Tedesco based on their performance last Saturday. A comprehensive 4-1 win at home to Mainz was enough to lift optimism around the club and now the question is whether they can back this up away at Stuttgart. The home side failed to break down rock bottom Greuther Furth this past weekend, leaving them with just a point from their last three Bundesliga fixtures and outside the bottom three only on goal difference. When taking into account the contrasting levels of confidence within both camps, not to mention the superior nature of the RB Leipzig squad from both a strength-in-depth and individual ability perspective, an away win has to be favoured here.
