Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction

Both these two teams are currently locked together on 58 points along with Hoffenheim and the battle to finish in the top four is expected to go right to the wire. That makes this contest effectively a six-pointer between Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen with the winner putting themselves in a commanding position with two games left to play.

Bayer Leverkusen has the momentum when it comes to recent results, winning their last two in the Bundesliga, whilst Stuttgart have paid the price for consecutive draws, having now been overtaken by their opponents. But it’s them who boast home advantage in this all-important showdown.

When considering that both of these two clubs are very strong going forward with perennial goalscorers in Undav and Schick leading their respective lines, neither are likely to go into their shells and that should lead to an exciting duel between the two teams from an attacking perspective. Therefore, backing over 2.5 goals is worth exploring.

Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen tip: Over 2.5 goals
