THE LOWDOWN
STUTTGART
If Stuttgart are to ensure that they end this round of Bundesliga matches still in third-place, then they will need to avoid defeat here against a menacing RB Leipzig, who right now sit just one place and one point behind them in the table as it stands.
Multiple players missing through international duty, not least star striker Serhou Guirassy is clearly taking its toll, with Stuttgart having suffered successive losses since the Bundesliga’s restart post-winter break. Both of those results though, came on the road and returning home to their fans should lead to a strong response.
RB LEIPZIG
RB Leipzig have every reason to be furious with themselves following a devastating defeat last weekend in their quest to seriously challenge for the Bundesliga title during this second half of the season. Despite taking the lead twice at home against table toppers Bayer Leverkusen, Marco Rose’s side let their advantage slip both times and ended up losing 2-3 in dramatic fashion.
Leverkusen’s winner in second-half stoppage time means that it’s now consecutive defeats for Leipzig as well as Stuttgart. Having twice blown their chance to move into third-place, Rose’s men get a third bite of the cherry through this encounter, although they must fix up at both ends of the pitch.

THE PREDICTION
If there’s one thing that does look on the cards in this contest between two ultra-attacking teams, it’s entertainment and chances at both ends of the pitch. The strengths of these sides lie in their respective offensive play and it’s hard to see anything other than a game of significant action. The outcome itself could go either way, but backing over 2.5 goals scored has to be favoured.
BETTING TIP: OVER 2.5 GOALS
