Relegation candidates Stuttgart will be looking to keep their hopes of remaining in the Bundesliga next season alive with a win over Bayer Leverkusen this weekend.
The Swabians come into this game on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Hertha BSC, which ended their run of four games without defeat in the Bundesliga. Despite the defeat, Sebastian Hoeneß' men remain only two points away from the safe zone, so a win this weekend would be of great importance for them. Ahead of Sunday's match, Stuttgart fans will take heart from the fact that five of their only six wins in the Bundesliga this season were on this ground.
Meanwhile, Leverkusen were beaten by AS Roma in the Europa League semifinal first leg in Turin on Thursday night. The visitors finished in the top four last season, but will almost certainly not play in the Champions League next season. And with an important Europa League semifinal second leg coming up next week, Xabi Alonso's men are unlikely to focus on Stuttgart.
VfB Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Since the visitors will make a lot of changes in their starting eleven, Stuttgart has a chance in this match. However, their record against Leverkusen at this venue in the Bundesliga is not good - there has been no win since 2010.
The hosts have scored at least once in each of their last seven matches in all competitions and since there have been similar results in five of the last six meetings between these two teams, betting on a goal for both teams is the best option for this match.

VfB Stuttgart team news
Thomas Kastanaras is nursing a metatarsal injury, and the center forward is expected to miss Sunday's game.
He is joined by center back Konstantinos Mavropanos, who is suffering from a shin injury, but otherwise coach Sebastian Hoeneß has no other worries.
Number 9, Serhou Guirassy, is the club's top scorer this season with 9 goals, so he will once again lead the line and could be supported by Tiago Tomás and Enzo Millot in the final third.

Odilon Kossounou only managed to play 36 minutes in the 1-0 defeat to AS Roma before he had to be substituted due to injury.
