Stuttgart vs RB Leipzig prediction 15.01.2025 | Bundesliga

• Competition: Bundesliga
• Date: Wednesday, 15th January, 2025
• Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
• Venue: MHPArena (Stuttgart)

Stuttgart had two very interesting seasons behind them. From a team that almost suffered relegation to a team that finished second in the previous year. This year, "Die Roten" are doing an OK job in the Bundesliga as they are sitting in 7th place with 26 points from 16 rounds. They are just four away from 4th placed RB Leipzig and the Champions League spots. So, a win here would be a massive step forward in grabbing those top four spots. In the CL, Stuttgart are in 26th place but just one point away from the 1/16 spots, and a very important period is in front of them.

Since they arrived in the German top-flight division, RB Leipzig instantly became one of the best teams in the league, securing the CL in seven out of eight seasons. This year is no exception, considering they hold fourth place with 30 points from 16 rounds. However, their performances in the CL have been subpar, as they are one of the only three teams without a single point. It is fair to expect them to focus mostly on the domestic competitions.

Stuttgart vs RB Leipzig pick: Over 2.5 goals

Stuttgart are among the best teams for this type of bet in the Bundesliga, with 69% of their games (11 of 16) finishing with three or more goals. Only Bayer Leverkusen and Holsten Kiel had more games with three or more goals - 12 out of 16.

RB Leipzig have struggled away from home, losing five out of the last six matches. During that time, they allowed 15 goals - 2.5 per game. Because of their poor defensive performance, they were over 2.5 goals in four of six matches.

In the previous season, these teams met twice and were easily over this line as we saw six and seven goals in those matches. Considering the previous h2h games and all the above, we expect a high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.
