Leverkusen Form & Balance Check
Leverkusen will naturally be aiming to put in a similarly strong performance as last season. It is almost impossible to perform at the same level, but they naturally want to defend the league title and the cup. The test matches, which were intended to help them regain the necessary intensity in preparation, were mixed.
They won against RW Essen, drew against RC Lens and Real Betis and were beaten 3-0 by Premier League runners-up Arsenal. It will be interesting to see how they perform under pressure for the first time
Home fortress
Not a single team was able to overcome the BayArena last season. It’s clear that Leverkusen were the Nun-Plus-Ultra of last year anyway. But with home advantage behind them, they were able to play even stronger. In their 17 home games, they won 14 times, drew three times and did not lose a single match. With the resulting 45 points, they clearly occupy first place in the home table. If they carry this momentum and home strength into this season, it will be very difficult for any opponent.
Leverkusen facts & analysis
- Not lost a single game last year
- Reigning champions and cup winners
- Drawn last game
Stuttgart Form & Balance Sheet Check
Stuttgart are also coming off a truly miraculous season. Nobody would have thought that the Swabians, a year after battling relegation, would play so high up the table and qualify for the Champions League. At the end of the season, they even managed to catch up with the record champions and were in second place with 73 points, which in some years would have been enough to win the league title.
VfB also played some friendly matches, which went very well. They won five and drew one of their six friendly matches. The 4:0 victory over Athletic Bilbao in particular is an exclamation mark
Strong harmony
The dynamic between attacking play and work against the ball is particularly impressive. Last season, VfB Stuttgart had the third-best offense and second-best defense in the league. These values are the main reasons why the Swabians were ultimately able to compete in the upper echelons. This harmony is also evident in the test matches so far.
With a goal difference of 25:6 from six games, Stuttgart have underlined their good form. Of course, these matches were also against lower-ranked teams, but even in friendly matches, this performance must first be brought to the pitch
Stuttgart facts & analysis
- runners-up
- Won last four games
- Haven’t won against Leverkusen in six years
