RB Leipzig host Stuttgart in round 2 of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, August 20th at Red Bull Arena (Leipzig)
RB Leipzig is a top team that has set the goal of fighting for the champion’s title in Germany over the past few years. It became known in advance that the coach, who brought the Bulls to a high level, will head Bayern Munich in the summer. Instead of Julian Nagelsmann, the footballers are now headed by Jesse Marsch, who previously worked at the Austrian Red Bull Salzburg. The debut was a success, as there was a weak opponent in the German Cup, and Leipzig scored four unanswered goals against Sandhausen. But in the first round of the championship, the Red Bulls unexpectedly lost to Mainz (1-0). According to statistics, the team from Leipzig had an advantage, but it was useless if the attack was ineffective. And the xG indicator was on the side of the hosts (1.27 vs 0.84). Not surprisingly, the Bulls sold two key central defenders in the summer (Konate and Upamecano). André Silva appeared in the attack, but he still has a lot of work to do to adapt to German football.

At the start of the 2021/2022 season, Stuttgart, which finished 9th in the previous Bundesliga, brought a pleasant surprise. Yes, the opponents were easy, but the attacking line should be noted. In the German Cup, the Swabians destroyed BFC Dynamo (6-0), and the first round of the championship ended with a confident victory over the newcomer Greuther Furth (5-1). In both cases, there was a complete dominance of Stuttgart, but we need to see how the team will show itself against the strong middle peasants or grandees of German football. Let’s note that the club sold its regular goalkeeper in the summer. Now the newcomer Müller mans the sticks.
Let's risk betting on an exchange of goals scored. RB Leipzig, which showed a rather mediocre game, will run forward. The Bulls surely want to rehabilitate themselves in front of their fans for a misfire in the first round of the Bundesliga. Stuttgart will be motivated to extend their winning streak to three matches. The squad of the hosts has changed. The attack has weakened, and the defense has become less reliable, so the Bulls will not have a full advantage over the Swabians, as it was in previous years.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
