Bayer - Stuttgart: Current Forecast and Betting Prediction for Bundesliga Match - November 1, 2024
Bundesliga Betting Odds and Preview for Bayer Leverkusen vs. VfB Stuttgart
Two days before the international break, the Bundesliga will contest the 11th matchday of the 2024/25 season on Friday evening. Bayer 04 Leverkusen will host VfB Stuttgart at the BayArena, with both teams looking to bounce back from disappointing results last time out.
Bayer Leverkusen
Leverkusen suffered a demoralizing 2-0 defeat at Borussia Dortmund last weekend, their second loss in three Bundesliga matches. Gerardo Seoane's men have struggled for consistency this season, winning four, drawing three, and losing three of their first 10 games. They currently sit in eighth place in the table, four points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
The Werkself have been particularly vulnerable defensively, conceding 16 goals in their 10 league matches so far. This has put pressure on their attack, which has been led by Patrik Schick and Moussa Diaby. Schick has scored seven goals in all competitions this season, while Diaby has contributed four goals and five assists.
VfB Stuttgart
Stuttgart also come into this match on the back of a defeat, having lost 3-1 at home to Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend. Pellegrino Matarazzo's team have now lost four of their last five Bundesliga matches, and they are just one point above the relegation zone in 16th place.
The Swabians have struggled to score goals this season, managing just 10 in their 10 league matches so far. Their attack has been led by Silas Katompa Mvumpa, who has scored four goals in all competitions. However, the Congolese forward has not scored in his last five Bundesliga appearances.
Betting Prediction
Bayer Leverkusen are the clear favorites to win this match. They are the home team, they have a better squad, and they are in better form. However, Stuttgart have shown that they can be a dangerous team on their day, and they will be looking to take advantage of Leverkusen's recent defensive struggles.
The best bet for this match is a Leverkusen win. However, Stuttgart are capable of causing an upset, so a bet on the draw could also be worth considering.
Current Betting Odds
- Bayer Leverkusen to win: 1.40
- Draw: 4.50
- VfB Stuttgart to win: 7.50
