Bayer Leverkusen - Stuttgart betting tips and odds

With the odds set at 1.47 for a home win, Bayer Leverkusen winning is clearly the most likely outcome in this matchup. Bigger upsets have happened, of course, but we wouldn’t expect anything but a decisive home win.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and Stuttgart will be left with slim pickings in this match.

Team from Leverkusen have a lot of reasons to be proud of their previous Bundesliga performance. Their opponents Borussia Dortmund were hard favourites and had the home-field advantage, but Team from Leverkusen pulled ahead in the first half. The end result was a stunning 2:5 away win.

Stuttgart are coming off of a disappointing 2:3 loss in the previous round. The first half of that match was one long stalemate, but their opponents Eintracht Frankfurt broke the tie later on.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Stuttgart’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Team from Leverkusen clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with Stuttgart, but it was a rather narrow victory.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Daley Sinkgraven, Julian Baumgartlinger, Exequiel Palacios, Andrey Lunev. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Clinton Mola, Tanguy Coulibaly, Mohamed Sankoh, Nikolas Nartey. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.53, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
