Stuttgart’s problems to deepen against Bayer Leverkusen

Stuttgart’s problems to deepen against Bayer Leverkusen

On Friday night, struggling Stuttgart visit Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, as the visitors attempt to move off the bottom of the table and out of the relegation zone.

Bayer Leverkusen have made a highly inconsistent start to their Bundesliga campaign, picking up 11 points from as many league outings.

A run of one win in six league outings is not a great record, especially as the visitors have lost their last two Bundesliga outings while conceding at least three goals in both defeats. Their last league encounter saw Leverkusen suffer a 3-0 defeat at RB Leipzig.

The hosts recent Bundesliga encounters have at least offered value for money when it has come to goals, though, as six of their last seven games have produced over 2.5 goals.

Leverkusen’s recent home record in the league has contributed to their inconsistent run of form, as the home side has won just one of their last five Bundesliga games on home soil.

Stuttgart have endured a poor start to their Bundesliga campaign, winning just two of their 11 league games so far this season. However, one of those victories was last time out, when they defeated Nurnberg 2-0.

The victory also ended a four-game losing streak for the away side in the German top-flight. Stuttgart’s main problem of late has been keeping the opposition out, as they have conceded at least three goals in four of their last five league outings.

Stuttgart’s recent away form has not helped their cause in the Bundesliga, as they have won just one of their last six league matches on their travels while suffering four defeats in the process. The one away win was in that aforementioned win over Nurnberg last time out, though.

To add to their woes, the home side has won just one of their last 14 meetings with the visitors. However, that victory was in their last meeting in April.

Forebet predicts that Bayer Leverkusen will record a victory in a high scoring and entertaining clash to add to Stuttgart’s problems.
