On Sunday afternoon, Stuttgart hosts Bayer Leverkusen at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in what promises to be an exciting clash at the top of the Bundesliga table.
Die Roten continued their stellar recent league form last time out by recording a third straight victory in the Bundesliga when they saw off Werder Bremen 2-0 at the Mercedes-Benz Arena last time out in the German top-flight.

In-form striker Deniz Undav scored for the fourth time in three league appearances, while top goalscorer Sehrou Guirassy grabbed his 16th league goal of the season in just his 11th appearance of the campaign.
The latest win kept Sebastian Hoeness’ team in third-place in the Bundesliga table.
They are now just five points adrift of Sunday’s visitors.
Stuttgart’s home form has been particularly strong, as they have won six of their previous seven league games on home soil while scoring at least two goals in all seven matches in the run.
Die Werkself saw their recent winning run in the Bundesliga end last time out, as Dortmund held Xabi Alonso’s in-form team to a 1-1 draw at the BayArena.
The draw ended an eight-game winning run in the German top-flight for Bayer.
However, the result means that the visitors are unbeaten in their 13 matches in the Bundesliga this season, having recorded 11 wins and two draws.
Bayer have been incredibly consistent on their travels of late in the Bundesliga, as they are unbeaten in six away games in the German top-flight, having recorded five wins and a draw on their travels this season.
The key to the good away form has been their attacking potency, as they have scored at least two goals in their last six away games in the league.
Forebet predicts that Bayer Leverkusen will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to boost their chances of maintaining their lead at the top of the Bundesliga.
