Bayer Leverkusen – Rampant hosts targeting fourth-straight victory?
A five star showing in the previous round away to Borussia Dortmund, for whom a 5-2 reverse represented a maiden Bundesliga home defeat of the season, has seen this rampant Bayer Leverkusen strengthen their claims for a return to the Champions League next season. In doing so, Die Werkself surpassed last season’s goal tally from 13 fewer games . Highlighting their newfound scoring prowess under Gerardo Seoane.
Leverkusen have now won three on the bounce for a third time this term, failing to win next time out on both previous occasions. So for all their momentum – and 12 goals in recent wins over Augsburg, Gladbach and Dortmund certainly points to a team at the peak of their powers – nothing can be taken for granted. Although a five-game unbeaten spell at BayArena (W3 D2) means they deservedly begin as favourites.
Key Stat: Seven of the past eight Bundesliga matches involving Bayer Leverkusen saw Gerado Seoane’s team score multiple goals, and on Saturday will be looking to complete the rare feat of scoring five in three successive league games.
Stuttgart – More misery for winless Swabians?
It can be difficult to catch a break when things aren’t going accordingly, and this was undoubtedly the case last time out for Stuttgart. Having twice trailed at home to European chasing Eintracht Frankfurt, to have been undone – and thus denied what would have been only a second point in six matches (D1 L5) – by a deflected effort will have left its mark on a group of players without a victory since mid-December.
On the flip side, they are at least back among the goals after previously going five Bundesliga outings without any. This includes their last three on the road, where they have taken one of the last nine available points having won once – 2-0 at Wolfsburg on 11 December – on their travels all season long (W1 D4 L5). Hardly conducive form for a first win away to Leverkusen since 2018, losing all three visits thereafter.
Key Stat: Away from home, no Bundesliga team has scored fewer than the six of Stuttgart. Die Schwaben have failed to find the net in fifty percent of their away league matches this term, while they are yet to notch more than once.
