Bayer Leverkusen vs Stuttgart Prediction and Betting Tips | November 12th 2022
Bayer Leverkusen will host Stuttgart at the BayArena on Saturday afternoon in another round of the 2022-23 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side endured a sluggish start to their season and are now looking to find their way back under new manager Xabi Alonso. They picked up a 2-1 comeback win over struggling Koln in their last league outing, with Nadiem Amiri and Moussa Diaby scoring a quickfire double midway through the second half to overturn a first-half deficit.
Bayer Leverkusen sit 13th in the league table with 15 points from 14 games. They will be looking to continue their good run of form this weekend.
Stuttgart have had a decent start to life under interim manager Michael Wimmer. They beat Hertha Berlin 2-1 in their last game, with Serhou Guirassy opening the scoring in the opening three minutes of the game before Konstantinos Mavropanos scored the winner with a towering header deep into additional time.
The visitors sit 15th in the league table with 14 points from 14 games and will be hopeful of adding to that tally on Saturday.
