Bayer Leverkusen - VFB Stuttgart (Bundesliga)

Bayer Leverkusen takes Stuttgart in a meeting of the 25th round of the German Bundesliga. The game is on Friday - March 13, 2015, and chief judge of the match will be Tobias Stieler. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 1.44 for a home win, with a draw at 4.33 and 7.50 for the victory of the guests.

Leverkusen recorded two wins in the championship, which climbed the team to fourth place in the standings. So, Bayer erased the memory of a difficult start to the half of the season on the domestic scene. Now the team meets the last Stuttgart, but thinking about the upcoming rematch next week against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Roger Schmidt will not be able to rely on the injured Robbie Kruse and Tin Jedvaj. Emir Spahic is punished and Kyriakos Papadopoulos will take his place in central defense. In previous positions Roger Schmidt will rely on Stefan Kiessling and Josip Drmic will remain on the bench.

Stuttgart is still without a win in the second half of the season in the Bundesliga. The team ranks last in the standings, and the chair of the coach Huub Stevens can become empty. Experienced specialists must change something in the game of his team; otherwise Stuttgart will compete in the second division next season. For the visit in Leverkusen, Huub Stevens will not be able to rely on the punished Martin Harnik and Moritz Leitner and the injured Daniel Didavi and Antonio Rudiger. Filip Kostic will keep his place on the right flank of the attack, and Adam Hlousek will start on the left back of the defense of Stuttgart.

The hosts are much better team and are great favorites in the game. Stuttgart`s game from the beginning of the year did not go well, and now the boys of Huub Stevens have to visit one of the most inhospitable stadiums in Germany.
