Stuttgart vs Leipzig Preview and Team News

Stuttgart Team News

Stuttgart are in the middle of a bad run of form that has seen their chances of challenging for European places in the Bundesliga tail off. They are winless in their last five events, with 2 draws and 3 defeats. 

This poor streak means their 10 victories, 7 ties, and 10 losses, after 27 rounds of fixtures, have resulted in 37 points. They sit rooted in 11th on the table, 8 points removed from fourth-placed Mainz. 

Injuries have taken their toll on Stuttgart’s recent chances of being competitive. They have five players sidelined ahead of hosting Leipzig in the DFB Pokal. 

The hurt players include Dan-Axel Zagadou, Luca Raimund, Nikolas Nartey, Anrie Chase, and Justin Diehl. They also have three suspensions: Maximilian Mittelstädt, Angelo Stiller, and Ameen Al-Dahil.

There are also chances of the home side regaining some of their form.

Stuttgart Predicted Lineup vs Leipzig

Leipzig Team News

Leipzig have been indifferent recently, a microcosm of their run so far. They are currently outside the top four. In their last five Bundesliga games, they’ve only won once, drawing and losing twice apiece. 

Across the season, they’ve won 11, tied 9, and been defeated 7 times. These results show an inconsistent team. The up-and-down results have left them sitting 6th on the Bundesliga table, outside the top four by 3 points after 27 rounds of fixtures. 

Based on their form, I’m also focusing on the injury issues that the squad are dealing with before their trip to Stuttgart. Absentees due to injury include Benjamin Henrichs (achilles tendon), Assan Ouedraogo (hamstring), Antonio Nusa (knee), and Xaver Schlager (muscle).

The inconsistencies of the two sides across the season and in recent outings are also in play.

Both clubs have struggled for consistency in recent fixtures. Stuttgart were winless in the last five outings, whereas Leipzig claimed a solitary victory over five encounters in the Bundesliga. This form guide underscores the likelihood of a finely-balanced match.

The two squads are dealing with injury issues to key players. The hosts are without Dan-Axel Zagadou, and the visitors are missing Benjamin Henrichs. These absences will affect the tactical orientation of the respective managers and impact the game on display.

Stuttgart’s 4-2-3-1 formation up against Leipzig’s 3-5-2 will see a crowded midfield. The result will likely be a cagey match with little penetration behind the defensive line and chances coming at a premium.

Stuttgart vs Leipzig Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: A Team Will Qualify in Regular Time – No
• Odds: 3.72 (22Bet)

My point is to a tightly-contested meeting, probably ending in a draw. Neither team have shown the killer instinct needed to win this match in regulation time. 

Both managers will prioritise defensive approaches and midfield control, which could lead to a low-scoring event where neither side gains a decisive advantage.
