On Saturday evening, two of the Bundesliga’s most exciting teams, Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart, go head-to-head at the BayArena.
Bayer has recorded back-to-backThe new German champions have now drawn back-to-back games against West Ham and last time out Borussia Dortmund.
The 1-1 draw against BVB means that Bayer are unbeaten in all 45 competitive games this season while failing to score in just one of their matches.
The unbeaten run and their attacking performances have been a big factor in Bayer winning their maiden Bundesliga title and reaching the Europa League semi-finals.
Die Werkself have also scored at least two goals in nine of their previous 11 matches in the German top-flight.
Xabi Alonso’s team are unbeaten in their last 16 home games in the Bundesliga, having recorded 13 wins and three draws. The stellar home run includes five straight Bundesliga victories. Bayer has scored at least two goals in all five of their straight home wins.
Die Roten is looking to bounce back after a shock defeat last time outLast time out, Die Roten suffered a shock 2-1 defeat at Werder Bremen, which ended an 11-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga. However, the visitors record of eight wins in their last 11 games in the German top-flight.
Their recent good form has Stuttgart third-place in the table, just three points adrift of second-place former champions Bayern Munich. However, they are seven points ahead of fifth-place Borussia Dortmund.
Stuttgart’s attack has played a key role in their lofty position in the table, as they have scored at least two goals in five of their last seven Bundesliga outings.
The aforementioned defeat at Werder Bremen ended Die Roten's five-game winning away run in the Bundesliga. Their recent away games in the German top-flight have certainly delivered on goals, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six outings.
What am I backing?This promises to be a highly entertaining encounter between two of the Bundesliga’s most prolific teams. With that in mind, the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
