Leverkusen in control
Leverkusen come into this match as strong favourites and rightfully so after winning each of their 3 home Bundesliga 2026/2027 matches to date, conceding just once. Carles Martinez has hit the ground running at the BayArena, quickly establishing a flowing possession-based style of play and a control structure that is backed up by a fast and ferocious style of pressing from the attacking third. They have won their last 3 matches with an incredible 4-0 away win over Lech Poznan and a 2-1 Bundesliga 2026/2027 win over Freiburg coming prior to this clash. Patrik Schick has been particularly in form, netting 5 goals in all competition for Leverkusen in their last 5 competitive matches, scoring 5 of Leverkusen's 14 goals in total. No other player has more than 1 goal for the club in this Bundesliga campaign.
A true contest on the horizon
VfB Stuttgart aren't in bad form, but they will have a tough time going toe-to-toe with Leverkusen in this one. Sebastian Hoeness' side have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5 across all competitions, with a lacklustre 1-0 loss to Hamburger SV and a 2-3 home loss to Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga 2026/2027. Their home and away form is polar opposites this season for Die Roten, whilst losing 3 of 4 on the road. Josha Vagnoman has been Stuttgart's most reliable scoring source, netting 2 goals this Bundesliga season and being an excellent outlet from deeper positions. A draw seems unlikely at 33/10 and that's a price that makes little sense when the hosts are 19/25 and Stuttgart 11/4. Leverkusen have been flawless at home and are coming into this on the back of 5 consecutive victories in all compuls. However, the fact that Stuttgart have won 2 of the last 5 H2H clashes keeps this from being a sure thing for Leverkusen.
Leverkusen’s dominance should lead to an exciting clash
Leverkusen's control style of football should keep Stuttgart pinned back for large periods of the match, but the visitors have the quality and guile to hit back on the counter with direct passes and accurate deliveries from the wings, so we're going for Over 2.5 goals at 3/10 and Both Teams To Score at 33/100 for the home match at BayArena.
