Match Preview

Today’s OddsDigger VfB Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen preview highlights two mid-table Bundesliga teams still trying to find consistency. VfB Stuttgart have failed to win back-to-back starts in the top German league in their first 12 outings and no other side outside of the current bottom four has lost more times than Hannes Wolf’s side. Bayer Leverkusen have similarly suffered an indifferent first third of the campaign and have been guilty of drawing far too many games.

Ahead of today’s VfB Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen predictions, we highlight the solid home form of VfB Stuttgart, who have been playing some attractive football, despite their up-and-down form away from the Mercedes-Benz Arena, where they have won five of their opening six league games, including a standout 2-1 success last time against Dortmund.

Draw specialists Bayer Leverkusen still have designs on reaching the European qualifying spots. Heiko Herrlich’s side has been clinical in front of goal, as comfortable wins at Borussia Monchengladbach (5-1) and at home to Freiburg (4-0) and Hamburger SV (3-0) suggest. Yet defensively, they are shipping too many goals.

VfB Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction and Betting Advice

VfB Stuttgart are on a 15-match unbeaten run at home and have been buoyed in recent games by the return to fitness of captain Christian Gentner, who was back in the side against Dortmund for the first time since suffering facial injuries in mid-September. His presence provided an immediate boost as the Cannstatt Boys looked much more solid than they had previously in a 3-1 defeat at Hamburger SV.

Our Bundesliga football tips suggest that Bayer Leverkusen could provide something of an upset, though. History is on their side, as they are unbeaten in their last 12 meetings with VfB Stuttgart and have won the last three clashes. The visitors have also scored at least once on their last eight visits.

Something has to give, and we believe that one of the best value VfB Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen betting tips is to weigh in with the visitors, who should trouble the hosts’ full-backs with their pace on the flanks via Kevin Volland and Leon Bailey. Sportingbet are out on a limb with their odds for an away win and Bayer Leverkusen, who have more than double the goals tally than their hosts this season, have enough firepower to get it done.

Keeping things tight at the back has been key to VfB Stuttgart’s incredible run of home form. They have conceded just twice at home in six outings, yet on the flip side, they are one of the lowest-scoring teams in the Bundesliga. Seven of their opening 12 games saw one or other side fail to score.

Yet games between this pair invariably produce plenty of goals. In 12 of their last 15 meetings, there have been three or more goals scored in total and given the goal-scoring form of the visitors, it is perhaps worth chancing another goal frenzy. Bayer Leverkusen are averaging over two goals per game in the league and know that their best form of defence is continuing their attack-minded philosophy.

The latest football odds suggest this could be a high-scoring clash. One of the most intriguing VfB Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen bets is to bank on goals. The odds offered by Winner in their Over 2.5 Goals market look fair value.
