Back more goals for Stuttgart

Over 2.5 goals is the bet when Stuttgart host Bayer Leverkusen at the Mercedes-Benz Arena on Saturday. The visitors have scored in 17 of their last 19 league games and there should be plenty of goals here.

Bayer Leverkusen are fourth in the league, one place above Stuttgart, but both teams have won more games than they have lost this season.

Stuttgart are without a win in three Bundesliga games and have played out two straight stalemates, but Bayer Leverkusen have won four of their last five matches and have gone unbeaten on seven of their last eight road trips.

Stuttgart left it late to rescue a 3-3 draw with Hoffenheim last weekend, keeping up their recent pattern of games with over 2.5 goals. Chris Fuhrich, Ermedin Demirovic, and Tiago Tomas all scored for Stuttgart, who have now opened the scoring in four successive games. They have failed to win in five of the 17 games in which they’ve scored first this season (29%). With the pre-game betting suggesting a tight contest, Stuttgart picked up a draw having been available at odds of 8/5.

There have been three goals or more in 23 of Stuttgart’s 32 Bundesliga matches this season, and Bayer Leverkusen’s last three league games have also finished with over 2.5 goals.

Stuttgart have been impressive in front of goal this season, scoring 66 goals in the Bundesliga – an average of 2.06 goals per game from their 32 games. They have scored three or more goals in 13 of those matches. Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, have scored 29 goals from their 16 away games in the league – an average of 1.81 goals per game.

Both teams have scored in nine of the last 11 Bundesliga meetings between these sides, and three of Stuttgart’s eight defeats this season have been by a 2-1 scoreline. A 2-1 away win for Bayer Leverkusen looks a decent correct-score bet.
