As Bayer Leverkusen gears up to face VfB Stuttgart, recent form strongly favors the home side. Leverkusen has been a fortress at BayArena, boasting a stellar 4-1-0 record in their last five matches, averaging an impressive 2.6 goals scored while conceding a meager 0.6. Their attacking prowess is underscored by a remarkable 20 shots per game at home, translating to a robust xG average that puts pressure on any opponent.
