Stuttgart vs. Leipzig: Match Prediction
Stuttgart has no issues scoring at home – the club has netted at least twice in 11 of their last 13 home league matches. During this period, they have scored against formidable opponents like Eintracht (3-0, 2-3), Bayern (3-1), and Borussia Dortmund (5-1). However, their defense is less convincing – the club has conceded in 7 of their last 8 home Bundesliga matches.
Leipzig also struggles defensively in away games – Marco Rose's side has conceded in 18 of their last 22 away league matches, with opponents breaching their defense twice in 11 instances. However, the team has no issues with scoring – Leipzig has scored in their last 6 away games in this tournament.
I believe both teams will score in the upcoming match. My prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
