Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen, the Bundesliga champions of 2023/24, are set to defend their record-breaking unbeaten streak against VfB Stuttgart, who are hoping to secure points for UEFA Champions League qualification. Leverkusen has made history by going 30 Bundesliga games without a loss and are unbeaten in 45 competitive matches this season. They are on track to break the points record for a Bundesliga season set by Bayern Munich in 2012/13.
Despite coming close to defeat against Borussia Dortmund in their last match, Leverkusen managed to salvage a draw and extend their unbeaten run. On the other hand, Stuttgart has also been performing impressively this season, surpassing their points total from the previous campaign. The team is in third place on the table, aiming to secure a spot in the Champions League next season.
When it comes to their head-to-head encounters, Leverkusen and Stuttgart have had a history of closely contested matches. Both teams have been scoring goals consistently this season, with Leverkusen boasting the second-highest goal tally in the league. Stuttgart’s dynamic strike partnership of Serhou Guirassy and Deniz Undav has been instrumental in their success, with the duo becoming the most prolific pair in the Bundesliga.
As they face each other once again, both Leverkusen and Stuttgart will be looking to secure a positive result for different reasons. Leverkusen aims to maintain their unbeaten streak and set new records, while Stuttgart is focused on securing a Champions League spot. Star players like Serhou Guirassy for Stuttgart and Florian Wirtz for Leverkusen are expected to play key roles in shaping the outcome of the match. The game promises to be fast-paced and entertaining, with both teams eager to come out on top.
