Bayer Leverkusen vs Stuttgart prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-10-31 19:30.
[p]Bayer Leverkusen have found the going much tougher this season, collecting seven points fewer after eight games (W4, D3, L1) than last season when they led the league. By no means out of the title race in third place, their hopes of regaining the Bundesliga crown took a hit last weekend in Bremen as they fell to a late goal to draw 2-2 – the fourth game already this season in which they’ve squandered a lead (D3, L1).[/p]
[p]That includes letting two 2-0 leads slip on home soil this season, with one of those leading to their first Bundesliga defeat since May 2023 when Leipzig beat them 3-2. This fixture last term saw Leverkusen actually overturn a 2-0 deficit, scoring the equalizer in added time against a team who they have collected their joint-second most home wins in their Bundesliga history (W22, D14, L7) against. Â [/p]
[p]Stuttgart have also had a tough time of late, as they have nine points less than they did in 2023/24 when they were second at this stage. They find themselves sitting eighth after ending a run of three winless league games with a 2-1 victory over Holstein Kiel, meaning that in the last three Bundesliga games Stuttgart scored first, they went on to win.[/p]
[p]Both of their league losses this term came on the road with the last one at Bayern Munich (4-0) ending an 11-match scoring away run in the Bundesliga (W7, D2, L3). They’ve actually scored twice in three of their last four Bundesliga away H2Hs, but that hasn’t changed the fact they’ve won just one of their last 13 top-flight visits to Leverkusen (D2, L10).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Robert Andrich meets the only Bundesliga team he’s scored three competitive goals against – he scored and was booked in both of his appearances against Stuttgart last season. El Bilal TourĂ© was involved in both goals (G1, A1) last weekend when Stuttgart won 2-1, and this calendar year his respective team (club or country) have won all nine games he scored in.[/p]
[p]Hot streak: All four of Stuttgart’s away league games this season produced exactly four  goals. [/p]
