VfB Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen Betting Tips - BTTS and Over 2.5 Goals
Third hosts first in a surprisingly important fixture between two sides punching above their weight in the first-half of the Bundesliga season.
Stuttgart have been in great form and they come into this fixture boosted by a 2:0 midweek victory against Borussia Dortmund in the DFB Pokal. VFB have won each of their last four matches and their last four on home soil.
Indeed, at home, Stuttgart have been particularly strong in the forward areas. Sebastian Hoeneß´s side have scored two goals or more in all seven home league matches this season. VFB netted an impressive 22 goals in those seven fixtures - that's an average of over three per game.
Likewise, Leverkusen bring with them plenty of firepower on Sunday. Xabi Alonso´s men have scored two goals or more in all six away Bundesliga fixtures this season. With 16 goals scored in those road fixtures, Bayer are averaging over 2.5 goals per game on their travels. Given those numbers, it's no surprise to learn that Leverkusen have taken 16 points from a possible 18 in away matches during this campaign.
Considering the superb form of both teams, we have to expect a particularly competitive and exciting match this Sunday. With that in mind, I expect BTTS and over 2.5 goals to land while I also like the chances of at least four goals scored in Sunday's big Bundesliga battle.
