Bayer Leverkusen return to Bundesliga proceedings following a 5-2 win over second-tier Nurnberg, six days after their shocking 3-0 defeat to Hoffenheim.
Nonetheless, Carles Martinez Novell has kicked off his Leverkusen career to an impressive start, going unbeaten in five of his seven league games in charge.
What’s more impressive is their form on home turf – unbeaten in seven straight since early May. This season, Leverkusen have recorded five consecutive home wins, although they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their latest two.
More than a handful of players are sidelined for the hosts, including Moussa Diaby, Loic Bade, Martin Terrier and Eliesse Ben Seghir.
On the other hand, Stuttgart have struggled in the top-flight, losing five of their seven fixtures so far. Unfortunately, the last time this happened they were relegated, in the 2025/16 season.
Another loss here would push the visitors deep inside the drop zone, given Schalke and Union Berlin pull victories in their respective fixtures.
Five players are confirmed absent for the Reds: Leo Sauer, Josha Vagnoman, Tiago Tomas, Justin Diehl and Dan Axel Zagadou

Whispers predicts: Augsburg 1-2 Freiburg
Backing BTTS – Yes at 9/10 (1.90), according to Bet365, is worth the odds. With both sides entering this clash following cup wins, the nets should bulge at both ends. Moreover, Augsburg’s last seven matches saw both teams score.
Vincenzo Grifo to score or assist anytime at 2/1 (3.00) offers extraordinary value. The Italian midfielder has featured rarely for Freiburg this season, but has two assists already, including one in his side’s recent win over Wolfsburg in the German Cup.
Freiburg have trailed at half-time in only two of their seven league outings this season. Backing them to win or draw the first period at 21/20 (2.05) is worth the consideration.
