As Bayer Leverkusen prepares to host VfB Stuttgart, recent form tells a compelling story. The home side has been on a tear, winning four of their last five matches, boasting an impressive average of 2.6 goals scored at home while conceding just 0.6. Their attacking prowess is evident, with nearly 20 shots per game and a solid xG average, indicating they’re not just lucky; they’re creating quality chances. Stuttgart, meanwhile, has struggled historically against Leverkusen, and their recent performances haven’t instilled confidence, especially on the road. With Leverkusen’s defense yielding an average of just 1.2 goals against in their last five, the odds favor them maintaining control.
