Stuttgart - LDLDLL
Anrie Chase (Torn muscle fiber in the adductor area), Justin Diehl (muscular problems), Luca Raimund (Torn muscle bundle), Josha Vagnoman (muscular problems), Dan-Axel Zagadou (Outer ligament problems) and Nikolas Nartey (Hamstring injury) are unavailable for Stuttgart boss Sebastian Hoeneß.
It looks as if Stuttgart could go for a 4-2-3-1 system for this one, handing starts to Alexander Nuebel, Leonidas Stergiou, Ameen Al Dakhil, Jeff Chabot, M. Mittelstaedt, Angelo Stiller, Atakan Karazor, Jamie Leweling, Nick Woltemade, Enzo Millot and Ermedin Demirovic.
Stuttgart will be hoping to bounce back here following a 1-0 Bundesliga loss in their previous game against Eintracht Frankfurt.
In that match, Stuttgart had 54% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. On the other side, Eintracht Frankfurt got 19 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Mario Götze (70') scored for Eintracht Frankfurt.
Three or more goals per game were seen in 5 of the past 6 meetings where Stuttgart have played. Opposition teams scored 13 times in these games whereas Stuttgart managed a tally of 10. With no two games being the same, we will just have to wait and see if that trend will persist in this next match.
RB Leipzig - DWLDWL
We’re of the thinking that Leipzig will likely begin the game with a 4-4-2 system, starting the game with Maarten Vandevoordt, Lutsharel Geertruida, Willi Orban, Castello Lukeba, David Raum, C. Baumgartner, Kevin Kampl, Amadou Haidara, Xavi Simons, Ikoma Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko.
After a loss in their previous game against Borussia Mönchengladbach in Bundesliga competition, RB Leipzig will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that match, RB Leipzig managed 61% possession and 19 shots on goal with 3 on target. For their opponents, Borussia Monchengladbach got 16 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Alassane Pléa (56') was the scorer for Borussia Mönchengladbach.
During their six previous matches, Marco Rose's RB Leipzig have seen their goal attempts be successful 6 times - giving them the goals scored per game average of 1.
Stuttgart possible starting lineup:
Nubel; Jeltsch, Al-Dakhil, Chabot, Mittelstadt; Karazor, Stiller; Millot, Undav, Fuhrich; Woltemade
RB Leipzig possible starting lineup:
Vandevoordt; Geertruida, Orban, Lukeba, Raum; Baku, Seiwald, Vermeeren, Xavi; Openda, Sesko
