Stuttgart team overview
Stuttgart have been pretty inconsistent in recent seasons. From a team playing in the relegation play-off, to a Bundesliga vice-champions, and then to a Cup winner last season. This year, the Reds have been much more consistent across competitions, currently sitting in 4th place with 47 points from 25 rounds, securing the DFB Pokal Semi-Finals, and reaching the Europa League 1/8 Finals. However, it is evident they are in a bit of a slump, having won just once in the past five games across competitions. That is undoubtedly their worst stretch of games this season, at least result-wise.
After a 2:1 loss to FC Porto, coach Sebastian Hoeneß spoke to the media. He said they briefly lost their composure and allowed Porto to score twice in a short period of time. The coach added he was disappointed with the result but said they competed well and that the two-legged tie is still not decided.

RB Leipzig team overview
Last year, RB Leipzig finished 7th and missed out on Europe for the first time since their arrival in the Bundesliga in the 2016/17 season. This year, with their focus only on the domestic competitions, the Red Bulls are doing much better. Yes, they had some ups and downs across the season, but they are on level with points with 4th-placed Stuttgart and are in a good position to secure a Champions League spot next season. Unlike their next opponent, RB Leipzig is in good form, having gone undefeated in the past four games and generally in good momentum.
After a 2:1 win over Augsburg in the previous game, coach Ole Werner spoke to the media. He was pleased with the result but admitted that they did not play at their best. However, the coach said that this type of "dirty" win can be crucial late in the season for the Champions League spots.

Prediction
Both teams have had some problems defensively lately. Stuttgart allowed two goals per game in back-to-back matches against FC Porto and Mainz and had only one clean sheet in the past eight games. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig allowed two or more goals in three of the past five games and haven't kept their net intact in eight games.
On the other hand, these two teams were excellent offensively, averaging 1.92 and 2.0 goals per game in the Bundesliga, and are the second- and third-best in the xG department. Because of that combination of great offense and mediocre defense, these teams often play high-scoring games.
Also, five of the past six games ended with four or more goals, each time with both teams scoring. Considering all the above, we believe that an over 3.5 goals bet is the safest option for this Bundesliga tie.
3 Reasons why we should see four or more goals
- Stuttgart went over 3.5 goals in five of the past seven games
- RB Leipzig went over 2.5 goals in the past four games
- We saw four or more goals in five of the past six H2H games
