THE PREDICTION

RB Leipzig suffered a surprise defeat away at Mainz in their opening Bundesliga game of the season, whilst Stuttgart thrashed Greuther Furth 5-1 at home and head to the Red Bull Arena full of confidence. Despite that, Leipzig are a strong outfit and are expected to dominate play here as they dictate possession and push their midfielders forward in a bid to support striker Andre Silva. However, whilst this may see them afforded more joy in front of goal than they had vs Mainz, it could also play into the hands of Stuttgart who will be looking to take advantage of any space left inside the opposition half having already proven their clinical edge in front of goal last weekend. Therefore, both teams to score is to be favoured here.
