Leipzig – Stuttgart

Leipzig are set to play Stuttgart at the Red Bull Arena on Friday in the Bundesliga. Leipzig come into this game on the back of a 1-0 loss to Bo Svensson’s Mainz in their most recent Bundesliga game. Stuttgart, on the other hand, beat Stefan Leitl’s Greuther Furth 5-1 in their last Bundesliga fixture.

In six head-to-head encounters between the two sides, Leipzig hold the clear advantage. They have won five games and drawn one. The two clubs last faced each other earlier this year in the Bundesliga, with Leipzig beating Stuttgart 2-0.

Leipzig have embarked on a new era under the management of Jesse Marsch. The Bundesliga club were successful under Julian Nagelsmann, and will be hoping to take the next step under their new boss. Stuttgart, on the other hand, were one of the better teams in the Bundesliga last season. Leipzig should win here, but it will not be easy.
