Stuttgart will go into the game after a 4-0 Bundesliga win in the defeat of Augsburg in their previous outing.

In that game, Stuttgart managed 72% possession and 29 attempts on goal with 11 on target. For Stuttgart, the scorers were Atakan Karazor (8'), Nick Woltemade (51'), Enzo Millot (80') and Ermedin Demirović (87'). Augsburg had 7 attempts at goal with 0 of them on target.

Proving their bias toward productive matches, goals have been seen as many as 21 times in the prior six matches in which Stuttgart have taken to the field, making it a mean average of 3.5 goals for each meeting. Their opponents have managed 7 from this total. Nevertheless, we will just have to wait and see whether that trend shall persist in this upcoming game.

🗞️ Team News: RB Leipzig

Willi Orbán (Fitness), Benjamin Henrichs (Achilles tendon rupture) and Amadou Haidara (Inner ligament injury) won’t be able to feature for RB Leipzig boss Zsolt Lőw.

We think that Leipzig will probably use the 4-4-2 formation for this one with Peter Gulacsi, Nicolas Seiwald, Lutsharel Geertruida, E. C. Bitshiabu, David Raum, Ridle Baku, Arthur Vermeeren, Kevin Kampl, Xavi Simons, Antonio Nusa and Tidiam Gomis.

📰 Team News: Stuttgart

Stuttgart manager Sebastian Hoeneß has to contend with a number of unavailable players. El Bilal Touré (Fitness), Luca Raimund (Torn muscle bundle), Ameen Al-Dakhil (Knock), Leonidas Stergiou (Foot injury), Finn Jeltsch (muscular problems), Anrie Chase (Torn muscle fiber in the adductor area), Angelo Stiller (Ligament injury), Dan-Axel Zagadou (Outer ligament problems) and Yannik Keitel (Hamstring injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We reckon that Stuttgart seem most likely to utilise a 3-4-2-1 lineup, starting the game with Alexander Nuebel, Luca Jaquez, Jeff Chabot, Ramon Hendriks, Josha Vagnoman, Atakan Karazor, Enzo Millot, M. Mittelstaedt, Jamie Leweling, Deniz Undav and Nick Woltemade.

🧠 Prediction

In this match, Stuttgart have it in them to get a goal against this RB Leipzig team, however it is unlikely to be enough to prevent defeat.

We are anticipating a 2-1 winning score for RB Leipzig at the end of the 90 minutes. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
