Prediction

  • Both teams played on Tuesday in the DFB Pokal (German Cup), but Leverkusen will have one eye on a mouthwatering Champions League tie at Liverpool.
  • Stuttgart are riding their own Champions League crest of a wave following a magical win at mighty Juventus.
  • Xabi Alonso's record-breaking champions sit in third, five points off the top after showing some early season rust, with VfB a further three points away in eighth.
  • Both meetings ended as entertaining score draws last season and that's the play again.
