VfB Stuttgart vs ⁠RB Leipzig Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Two of the best attacking sides in the league face each other.

We have a blockbuster game coming up between two powerhouses of the Bundesliga. VfB Stuttgart are set to tussle RB Leipzig in round 17 action at the MVPArena. Both teams will be aiming for successive victories on the road.

VfB Stuttgart are one of the best teams in the Bundesliga right now. They have won three of their last four matches on the road despite getting beaten by newly promoted side St. Pauli in round 15. Their recent upturn of form has seen them climb seventh in the table as they take on exciting RB Leipzig at MVPArena. Sebastian Hoeness’ side secured a narrow 1-0 win over Augsburg in the last match and will be hoping to maintain their winning run here. 

RB Leipzig on the other hand bounced back in the last match to secure a thrilling 4-2 win over Werder Bremen. Despite their good run in the league, Marco Rose’s side are yet to register a win in the UEFA Champions League. Currently languishing in the fourth spot in the table, RB Leipzig have accumulated 30 points so far winning nine, drawing three, and losing four.

Players to Watch

Deniz Undav (VfB Stuttgart)

After a stellar campaign last term, Deniz Undav has enjoyed another productive spell this season. The recent Stuttgart sensation has six goals to his name this season from ten appearances. He has scored two goals in his last three league matches and will be hoping to have a similar impact here again. Undav’s ability to step in big matches coupled with his lethal finishing will be a player to look out for in this match. 

Xavi Simons (⁠RB Leipzig)

Xavi Simons is probably one of the most exciting players in the RB Leipzig setup and has been in lethal form lately. In his last two Bundesliga appearances, the teenage sensation has scored three goals to help them register consecutive wins. With his brace against Werder Bremen in the last match, Simons has taken his tally for the season to four goals from eight appearances. Also, he has another two assists to his name.
