RB Leipzig vs VfB Stuttgart » Prediction, Watch Live + Odds & Stats 27.01.2023

On Friday night, RB Leipzig will look to continue their recent good form when they host Stuttgart at the Red Bull Arena.

Die Roten Bullen is in great form heading into this clash. Marco Rose’s team is now ten Bundesliga games unbeaten, having won five of their last six matches in the German top flight. The stellar run has moved them up to second place in the table, four points adrift of league leaders Bayern Munich.

Leipzig has been prolific in front of goal in the Bundesliga, scoring at least two goals in seven of their last eight league matches.

One of the biggest factors in RB Leipzig’s recent run is good home form, as they are unbeaten in nine games at the Red Bull Arena, having recorded seven wins.

The visitors once again look set for another relegation battle, as Stuttgart are now just a point clear of the relegation play-off spot. Bruno Labbadia could have a difficult job on his hands, as Stuttgart have won just one of their last five games in the Bundesliga.

However, Die Roten has recorded back-to-back draws against Mainz and Hoffenheim. The games continued a run of poor defensive displays, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight matches in the Bundesliga.

Stuttgart have been travel sick in recent seasons in the German top flight, as they have failed to win in 18 away games in the Bundesliga. Die Roten’s main issue of late has been in defence, as they have conceded at least two goals in their last six league matches on their travels.

RB Leipzig could once again be without Peter Gulacsi, Mohamed Simakan, Abdou Diallo and Christopher Nkunku due to a variety of injuries.

Stuttgart are expected to be missing Borna Sosa, Dan-Axel Zagadou and Laurin Ulrich through a mixture of injuries and illness.

I can’t see past an RB Leipzig victory in this clash, as Marco Rose’s team has found such positive momentum of late.
