Prediction

  • Leverkusen have scored 68 goals in all competitions this season, the most by a team in any of Europe's top 5 leagues.
  • In fact, Leverkusen failed to score at least twice for the first time this season in the disappointing 1-1 draw against Dortmund last weekend.
  • Third-placed Stuttgart have not shared the spoils all season in an impressive campaign so far, in stark to their struggles of the past few seasons.
  • Both teams were in cup action on Wednesday and a draw could be a wise option here at good odds.
