Stuttgart vs RB Leipzig 07.08.2022

Stuttgart welcome RB Leipzig in their opening fixture for the 2022/23 Bundesliga encounter at the Mercedes-Benz Arena on Sunday, hoping to salvage a win in other to have a perfect start to their quest. With the host coming off a very nasty run in the previous season that nearly send them to relegation, thanks to Captain Wataru Endo’s injury-time goal against Fc Koln on the final day that saw them escaped the relegation battle.

Stuttgart had one of the best pre-season runs among the Bundesliga teams recording all 4wins in their friendly’s securing a whopping 17 goals scored in all the 4 matches played. Their magnificent preparation was even witnessed in their DFB Pokal game against DG Dynamo Dresden where they won 1-0 against them with even a 64th-minute red card.

RB Leipzig on the other hand comes into this game not having a fine pre-season finished were they were lashed 4 goals to nothing by Premier League side Liverpool. they also lost 4-0 to current league rivals Bayern in this year’s Super Cup which shows the defensive lapses they need to work on before going into the mainstream league. That said, RB Leipzig will undoubtedly be too strong for the host as they have cemented themselves for the past four seasons in the Bundesliga race finishing in the Champions League spot for the past years.

With players like Nkunku and Forsberg at the Leipzig attack, this becomes an interesting goals encounter as both are specialists when it comes to scoring. RB Leipzig also has the best H2H record against Stuttgart as they remain unbeaten when playing against the host since 2017 to date.

With both sides possessing dangerous scoring threats, we anticipate more goals featuring in this game as they both will want to cement their presence in the league this season.
