The hosts are one of the Bundesliga’s most unpredictable teams this season (W3, D2, L6), and have conceded seven goals in their last two league matches (L2), despite scoring 11 in their two competitive games prior (W2).
Sitting 13th in the table ahead of this round, Leverkusen are the Bundesliga’s second-worst home side (W1, D1, L3).
Their fixtures have been entertaining though, with 12 of their 17 games this season (in all competitions) producing over 2.5 goals, and ten over 3.5.
Sitting rock-bottom with the joint-worst attack in the league (eight goals scored), Stuttgart (W2, D2, L7) have even more problems. After four losses in a row with a total of 14 goals conceded, the visitors did manage a victory in their last outing as they secured a 2-0 away win at Nürnberg. That was only Stuttgart’s second clean sheet of the season.
