Stuttgart to Win
Stuttgart’s consolation goal against Hertha Berlin last time out pushed their run of scoring in successive matches to seven in league and cup, and having found the net at least twice in each of their last three home assignments, the relegation candidates look capable of impacting the scoresheet again on Sunday. BTTS also landed in 100% of their last six matches and in five of the last six encounters with Leverkusen, so expect more of the same when the sides face off again this weekend.
Over 2.5 Goals
Stuttgart’s need for points is getting desperate and their quest for safety is having an effect on the pattern of their matches, which are becoming more and more open. Five of their last six games have featured over 2.5 goals, while two of their last three home fixtures (in league and cup) produced at least four goals. On Sunday, Stuttgart will be going all out again to beat a Leverkusen side that have some potent counter-attacking weapons in their ranks and another end-to-end contest could ensue. With that considered, our second Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction recommends a wager on over 2.5 goals again.

Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen lineups and team news for Sunday’s Bundesliga contest below.
Stuttgart
Thomas Kastanaras and Konstantinos Mavropanos are both out of action for Stuttgart at present. VfB's 2-1 loss at relegation rivals Hertha Berlin last time out left them third from bottom and two points from safety with three fixtures left to contest.
Predicted Lineup for Stuttgart: Bredlow – Zagadou, Anton, Ito – Vagnoman, Haraguchi, Endo, Sosa – Millot, Tomas, Guirassy
Bayer Leverkusen
Patrik Schick, Andrey Lunev, Karim Bellarabi and Charles Aranguiz are all missing this weekend through injury. Leverkusen lost 1-0 at home in the Europa League semi-finals on Thursday and it will be interesting to see if they are fatigued on Sunday after their efforts.
Predicted Lineup for Bayer Leverkusen: Hradecky – Kossounou, Tah, Tapsoba – Frimpong, Palacios, Andrich, Hincapie – Diaby, Wirtz, Hlozek
Player to Watch – Sehrou Guirassy
With two goals in his last three games, Guinean attacker Sehrou Guirassy has been doing his utmost to save Stuttgart and the 27-year-old needs just one more strike to make double figures in the Bundesliga for 2022/23. Guirassy should have chances to net against Leverkusen on Sunday.
