Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on VfB Stuttgart?
Stuttgart was one of the great surprises of the Bundesliga and European top leagues in general at the beginning of the season. With their relentless attack and the marvelous form of Serhou Guirassy (17 goals), they escalated to the top of the table and have stayed there. However, in the last few weeks, the absentees of the African, due to injuries or international compromises, seem to have taken a toll on the team.
It seemed that they could rely on Dennis Undav (nine goals), as the German was also having an excellent season, to not depend too much on the Guinean. However, even the striker with Premier League experience seems to have stopped his progression.
They now have eleven wins, one draw, and six losses record, but one more loss and they could fall entirely from the top four.
Why Bet on RB Leipzig?
Leipzig started the season, as always, as one of the outside candidates to steal the Bundesliga from Bayern. However, their form has been subpar, to say that Leverkusen has completely outclassed them in this task. The team has a decent attack and a good defense but doesn’t stand out on anything and has failed to take a win in almost all the key matches they have played.
Their loss against the Aspirines means that they are in great danger of falling from the top four, and with the standings so tight, it could be really difficult to climb again.
They are one point behind their rivals with ten wins, three draws, and five losses.
Final betting analysis – VfB Stuttgart vs. RB Leipzig
These two teams already faced this season, and Leipzig completely obliterated Stuttgart at their home 5-1. However, the team from South West Germany recovered and surpassed them in the table later. Now, both come in low form, but the head-to-head statistics have greatly favored Leipzig with nine wins, in front of Cero for VfB and two draws.
It’s clear that Stuttgart has lost its way, and even if they recover some form after Guirassy returns, they will, more than likely, fall on the table at some point. In this context, a game against a team with remarkable paternity over them is not the ideal scenario, but one where Leipzig will recover a little after a 1-3 win.
Go for a victory for the visitors at 2.56. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $156.00 for a total payout of $256.
