Command Analysis
Bayer Leverkusen
GermanyCurrent form
The current champion of the country after eight rounds occupies only third place and is five points behind the leading duo of Bayern and Leipzig. It is noticeable that Leverkusen has a hard time winning this season, the defense often fails. They have already managed to concede 15 goals, for comparison: the leaders of the Bundesliga Bayern and Leipzig have conceded only 10 times between them.
Over the last five rounds, Xabi Alonso men have won only twice in the championship. At the same time, in these matches against Wolfsburg (4:3) and Eintracht (2:1) there were some goals conceded. In general, since the beginning of the season in the national championship, Bayer has not played to zero and there is no progress in terms of strengthening the defense. In the previous round, the "pharmacists" played 2:2 with Werder, were in the lead twice, but conceded in the 90th minute. They are able to stay in the top three largely due to a powerful attack. Victor Boniface stands out in the attack, who played 11 matches this season and scored eight goals.

VfB Stuttgart
GermanyCurrent form
Stuttgart, like their upcoming opponent, had a great last season, but it is hard for the team to maintain such a high level now, especially considering that they still have to play in the Champions League. In the Bundesliga, after eight rounds, the Swabians are in sixth place, having scored only 12 points. They have three wins, and only a few matches are played at a high level, but nothing more.
Sebastian Hoeneß charges have already had a real test of strength - the match against Bayern. In that match, they were unable to counter the Munich team - a crushing defeat 0:4. After that, there was a less than convincing 2:1 victory over Holstein. In attack, Stuttgart has been good this season after the departure of the leaders, Deniz Undav, who has already scored five goals.
The Swabians are performing well in the Champions League. There was a good match against Real Madrid, despite the 1:3 defeat. In the last round, they won Juventus away in all respects with a minimal score of 1:0. This week, Stuttgart overcame the resistance of Kaiserslautern (2:1) in the 1/16 of the German Cup, playing far from their main lineup.

At the beginning of the season, the rivals played a match for the Super Cup, in which the strongest was not revealed in regular time, only in a penalty shootout Bayer won. In general, in the last five face-to-face matches Stuttgart lost only once, and with a difference of one goal. As can be seen from the Champions League, the Swabians can play one separate match at a high level, the same Juventus experienced their strength and tactical literacy to the fullest. It cannot be said that Leverkusen is now at the peak of form, a lot of mistakes can be seen in their defense. We believe that the guests will be able to at least avoid a major defeat.
Our prediction is a victory for Stuttgart with an Asian handicap (+1.5) at odds of 1.61
Bet on total
We don't think we should expect a closed game today, given the attacking potential of the opponents and frequent failures in defense. In the three previous face-to-face matches, at least four goals were scored, and it is highly likely that this series will not be interrupted today.
The second bet is total over 3.5 goals with odds of 2.00
Bet on the first half
In the two previous head-to-head encounters, Bayer and Stuttgart ended in a draw in the first half. In our opinion, it is highly likely that the opponents will not force the events on the field and all the most interesting things on the field will be at the end of the game, as is often the case in Leverkusen matches.
