In the second round of the German Bundesliga, RB Leipzig will take on Stuttgart at the Red Bull Arena on Friday. Under manager Marco Rose, the home team is having a great time and wants to challenge for the title in the second half of the season. In their most recent match, they defeated Schalke, who was in last place, 6-1, with five different players scoring.
It was an absolutely dominant performance. Leipzig has scored 32 points from 17 games to rank second in the Bundesliga. When they play on Friday, they will want to continue their good run of form. Stuttgart has had a challenging season and is currently just above the drop zone. Last time out, they played struggling Hoffenheim to a 2-2 draw.
After Wataru Endo’s goal in the 77th minute, they looked like they would win, but Andrej Kramaric’s late equalizer cost them the game. With just 16 points from 17 games, the guests are 14th in the league. This weekend, they will try to recover from their most recent setbacks and get their campaign back on track.

RB Leipzig vs VfB Stuttgart Prediction :
This season, Leipzig has not lost a league game since September of last year, going 10 games unbeaten. They will be excited about Friday’s game because they are unbeaten in league play at home. Stuttgart has only won one of their last five league games and is currently on a streak of consecutive draws. This season, they have struggled on the road, and they may lose here.
Prediction: RB Leipzig 2-0 Stuttgart
RB Leipzig vs VfB Stuttgart Head to head :
Leipzig and Stuttgart will meet for the tenth time on Friday. In their previous nine games, the hosts have won seven and drawn two, remaining unbeaten. In their last seven games against this opponent, the visitors have failed to keep a clean sheet.
This season, the hosts have scored 37 league goals. There are fewer goals scored than league leaders Bayern Munich (51). Together with Koln, Stuttgart has kept the fewest league clean sheets in the Bundesliga this year.
This season, Leipzig and Union Berlin have combined for the Bundesliga’s highest home record of 20 points. The Reds are one of three groups in the German first class this season without an away association win.
RB Leipzig vs VfB Stuttgart Team news :
Kevin Kampl, who was suspended for the game against Schalke but only came on as a substitute in the 85th minute, received his fifth booking of the season. Abdou Diallo, Christopher Nkunku (both knees), Mohamed Simakan (muscle), and Peter Gulasci (ACL) are all still out with injuries.
Rose is unlikely to make any changes to the team’s lineup after seeing how well they played against Schalke in midweek’s 6-1 victory. After the midfielder was sent off against Hoffenheim, Stuttgart will travel without him.
Chris Fuhrich could form on the left flank after returning Tiago Tomas during the first half due to a hip damage. Enzo Millot is likely to take his place in the engine room.
