Stuttgart - RB Leipzig predictions

Stuttgart are easily the favourites in the match this Wednesday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.19 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but RB Leipzig may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

The visiting team is cognizant of the task before them. A victory over Stuttgart on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy feat.

Stuttgart played as the away team in a relatively favourable matchup against Augsburg last round. They won in the end, just like most Bundesliga betting predictions expected they would, but not before spending the first half in a stalemate and only managing to pull ahead by 1 goal.

RB Leipzig’s performance was quite impressive in their latest game against Werder Bremen. The 4:2 victory itself may have been predictable considering they were the hosts in a favourable matchup, but the overwhelming success which they achieved it is worth noting.

Recording more than 5 goals over their past 3 visiting matches, Stuttgart are on a roll when it comes to goalscoring. They should do even better on their home turf.

With 8 goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, RB Leipzig's backline has much to be wished for

If Leipzig manage to maintain their current table position, they’ll be going to the Champions League. With close to half of the season still ahead of them and Stuttgart in their way, though, this will be hard – and moving up to challenge the title even harder.

The two teams last met in the previous season when Stuttgart won the clash with a convincing goal difference. Their fans are expecting another clear-cut triumph and the bookmakers tend to agree.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Dan-Axel Zagadou, Justin Diehl, Luca Raimund, El Toure will have to sit this one out, while Leipzig will have to make do without Yussuf Poulsen, Xaver Schlager, Forzan Assan Ouedraogo.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 1 odds are great value.
