Bayer Leverkusen vs VfB Stuttgart: Match Preview
Leverkusen enter this clash in full flight, having strung together five straight wins across league and Europe, a run powered by a resurgent attack and a defence that has rediscovered its bite. Their 2-1 victory over Freiburg and 4-0 dismantling of Lech Poznan typify a side brimming with confidence, with Schick and Hofmann both in the goals. Stuttgart, meanwhile, have been unable to sustain momentum, losing three of their last four Bundesliga matches and slipping to 14th in the table. Their only recent league win came at Paderborn, and a 3-2 home defeat to Gladbach last time out underlined their defensive frailties.
The tactical matchup looks lopsided in the hosts’ favour. Leverkusen’s attack is averaging 2.8 goals and 20.2 shots per game over the last five, while Stuttgart’s away defence has conceded eight in four Bundesliga trips. Leverkusen’s home record is spotless (3W, 8:1), and they’ve kept three clean sheets in their last five. Stuttgart’s ball retention (60.4% possession) and shot volume (18.2 per game) are impressive, but their conversion rate and defensive lapses have cost them, especially in the first half where they’ve been vulnerable.
Given Leverkusen’s habit of fast starts—nine first-half goals in five matches—and Stuttgart’s tendency to fall behind early, the model expects the home side to seize control from the outset. Stuttgart’s attacking intent means they could trouble Leverkusen if they take their chances, but the hosts’ current momentum and sharper edge in both boxes should see them through. A 3-1 home win is the likeliest outcome, with Leverkusen’s form and attacking depth the decisive factors.

Leverkusen are in their hottest spell of the season, winning five on the bounce and averaging nearly three goals per game, with three clean sheets in that stretch. Stuttgart, on the other hand, have lost three of their last four Bundesliga matches and have struggled for consistency, particularly away from home where they’ve conceded eight in four. The contrast in momentum and results could hardly be starker heading into this fixture.

The Case For This Bayer Leverkusen vs VfB Stuttgart Prediction
Leverkusen arrive at BayArena riding a tidal wave of momentum, having rattled off five consecutive wins across all competitions and scoring at least twice in every match during that run. Stuttgart, by contrast, have lost three of their last four Bundesliga outings and sit 14th, with their only recent bright spot a comfortable win away at Paderborn. The hosts’ relentless form has vaulted them into the top four, while Stuttgart are searching for stability after a patchy start. Statistically, Leverkusen’s attack is humming: they’ve averaged 2.8 goals and 20.2 shots per game over their last five, with Patrik Schick and Jonas Hofmann both in prolific touch. Defensively, they’ve tightened up, conceding just 0.8 per game and notching three clean sheets. Stuttgart, though capable of dominating possession (60.4% last five), have struggled to turn control into results, especially away (one win, three losses, 4:8 goal difference). Both sides generate plenty of corners (Leverkusen 6.2, Stuttgart 7.4 per game), hinting at set-piece opportunities, but Leverkusen’s sharper edge in both boxes sets them apart. Expect Leverkusen to start on the front foot, as they’ve scored nine first-half goals in their last five matches. Stuttgart’s tendency to concede early (four first-half goals against in the same span) could see them chasing the game. The model favours a high-scoring home win, but Stuttgart’s ability to create chances means they’re not without hope—if they can convert their possession into clear-cut opportunities.

Final Verdict
Bayer Leverkusen 3–1 VfB StuttgartLeverkusen’s five-match winning streak and 2.8 goals-per-game average in that run make them clear favourites, and the predicted 3-1 scoreline reflects their current attacking sharpness. The single strongest data point is their perfect home record (3W, 8:1 goal difference), which contrasts sharply with Stuttgart’s leaky away defence. The main risk is Stuttgart’s ability to dominate possession and generate shots—if they convert early, they could disrupt Leverkusen’s rhythm and make this a more open contest.
