Stuttgart and RB Leipzig bring round 17 of Bundesliga to an end when they go head-to-head at the MHP Arena on Wednesday. Both sides head into the midweek clash fresh off the back of securing their first league win of the new year and will look to keep the run going.
German striker Deniz Undav netted his sixth league goal of the campaign to inspire Stuttgart to a 1-0 victory over Augsburg at the WWK Arena last Sunday.
Before that, Sebastian Hoeness' men saw their four-game winning streak come to an end on December 21 courtesy of a 1-0 home defeat against St. Pauli before kicking off the new year with a 2-2 friendly draw against Eredivisie giants Ajax.
With 26 points from 16 matches, Stuttgart are currently seventh in the Bundesliga standings but could move into fifth place with all three points on Wednesday.
RB Leipzig, on the other hand, turned in an attacking show of class last weekend when they secured a 4-2 victory over Werder Bremen at the Red Bull Arena.

Leipzig have picked up 30 points from their 16 Bundesliga matches so far to sit fourth in the league standings, level on points with third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt.
