Passing on Bayer 04 Leverkusen v VfB Stuttgart. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.
Preview
Leverkusen will win this game because Stuttgart's recent results flatter them. The hosts create better opportunities, having crafted the stronger openings in eight of their last ten matches and all five at home. Winning five of their last six reflects that threat. Stuttgart usually keep the ball, but in four of the six matches where they dominated possession, they failed to make better chances. Conceding only 8 in their last eight when chances allowed should cost 12 means luck and goalkeeping are masking defensive issues. Losing Angelo Stiller to a groin problem removes four assists, leaving their midfield even less effective. Clinical finishing decides it.
