Bayer Leverkusen – Stuttgart : a wide-open scrap at the BayArena 
The Bundesliga returns to the BayArena and it won’t be boring. Leverkusen are climbing the table and welcome an ambitious yet hit-or-miss Stuttgart. Expect pace, chances and a match that shouldn’t be dull. Both sides have Europe on their minds, but they arrive on very different runs.
Bayer Leverkusen : the turnaround’s under way 
After a shaky start, Leverkusen have a new face since Kasper Hjulmand arrived. That eye-catching 3-1 win at Leipzig just before the break proved this group has found some confidence and looks freer.
The Werkself are on the podium and have lost just two of their last ten matches across all competitions. At home they’ve tightened up: only one Bundesliga defeat in front of their fans since the end of August.
In the chase for another Champions League spot, games like this are the ones that send messages to rivals.
Stuttgart : ambition held back by inconsistency 
Back with the stated aim of reaching Europe, Stuttgart still haven’t found steady form. The goalless draw with Hoffenheim to close 2025 exposed their current limits.
One win in five league games. That’s where they sit — midtable, despite real attacking potential. They haven’t strung two Bundesliga wins together since October. That lack of momentum hurts.
Heading to Leverkusen will be a proper test of whether they can compete with a confident team.
Probable line-ups
Bayer Leverkusen :
Flekken ; Andrich, Badé, Belocian, Arthur ; Garcia ; Tillman, Tella, Hofmann, Terrier ; Schick
Stuttgart :
Nübel ; Vagnoman, Jeltsch, Chabot, Mittelstädt ; Karazor, Stiller ; Tomas, Nartey, Leweling ; Undav
What to take away
- Leverkusen have lost only two of their last ten matches across all competitions.
- Hjulmand’s men are very solid at home in the Bundesliga.
- Stuttgart have won just once in their last five league outings.
- The last meeting between these two produced a thrilling 4-3.
Football Prediction Bayer Leverkusen vs Stuttgart
Bayer Leverkusen to win
Leverkusen are on a positive roll and should be able to control the tempo at home. Stuttgart can hurt you going forward, but their inconsistency is worrying against a more settled collective. Expect an open game. Edge to the hosts.
First — a note on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses. Nothing more. We give an opinion, a snapshot. No guarantees. Sport is unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the whole script changes.
- Let’s be blunt: every bet carries risk. Even when it looks “obvious”, it rarely is. Yes, that means you can lose. It’ll happen sooner or later.
- Be sensible. Stake small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live. And don’t chase losses — that never ends well.
- Betting should stay a pastime, not a job or income source. If it’s taking over your life, stressing you or making you act recklessly, take a break. If needed, speak to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re there for.
- Ultimately, responsibility is yours. Reading our content means you accept the risk exists and always will, no matter how good the analysis.
- Essential reminder: bets are forbidden for minors and must follow your local laws. Gambling can spiral (money loss, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.

Information that moves
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. Between then and kick-off, a lineup can change, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can become obsolete. We can’t be held liable for that.
