Bayer Leverkusen vs Stuttgart Prediction & Betting tips
Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart will compete against each other on Saturday afternoon. Both teams flew out of the cup midweek and will therefore be looking for rehabilitation. We take a closer look at the teams.
Bayer Leverkusen:
Bayer Leverkusen is definitely not in its best phase of this season. That Werkself remained unbeaten within the country’s borders until just before Christmas, but little is left of this invincibility. January was a disastrous month for Peter Bosz and his team. Since New Year’s Eve, Leverkusen has lost five times. Last weekend there was a narrow defeat at competitor RB Leipzig. Leverkusen was not much less, but was left empty-handed (1-0).
And midweek it went wrong again for Bayer. In the eighth finals of the DFB Pokal, Bosz’s team was embarrassed. The small Rot-Weiss Essen (Regionalliga West, fourth level) was too strong for Leverkusen after the extension with 2-1. “The disappointment is huge,” said keeper Lukas Hradecky after the match in Essen. “This should not happen to us,” said the goalkeeper. “The field, the rain, the opponent, that doesn’t matter,” Bosz didn’t look for excuses. “We should have won this game.”
VfB Stuttgart:
Just like Leverkusen, Stuttgart was also knocked out of the cup tournament midweek. Die Schwaben started well in their eighth final against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Silas Wamangituka quickly put Der VfB ahead, but then Stuttgart played a bit too expectant. The lead turned into a backlog, and Stuttgart was unable to come back. This season’s Stuttgart Cup adventure therefore ended with a 1-2 defeat.
Last week, Stuttgart played a home game against FSV Mainz 05. And it was a special game, as the team of trainer Pellegrino Matarazzo managed to win a match in their own Mercedes-Benz-Arena for the first time this season. Stuttgart didn’t play well, but it was enough to beat low flyer Mainz (2-0). Stuttgart is currently in tenth place. The time to come will show whether the team can really participate for a Europa League ticket, or whether the middle bracket is the highest possible.
