Looks like we are in for a treat with the upcoming Bundesliga matchup between RB Leipzig and VfB Stuttgart.
When it comes to the glove magic, both teams have proficient netminders. RB Leipzig appears to be in safe hands with Péter Gulácsi and Maarten Vandevoordt showing agility in collecting 6 and 5 saves respectively. On the other hand, Stuttgart's goalie Alexander Nübel doesn't shy away either with a decent rating of 6.65 and 3 saves to his name.
Onto the foot soldiers, Stuttgart's dominating footprints are all over with Deniz Undav, Enzo Millot, and Angelo Stiller shining on the pitch. Their on-target deliveries - a testament to their impressive pass accuracy. Talking about the ball wizards from RB Leipzig, I can't overlook the likes of Xavi Simons, El Chadaille Bitshiabu, and Nicolas Seiwald, who keep the ball rolling despite their goal drought.
Looking into the rearview mirror, the pendulum swings back and forth in the previous face-offs. Stuttgart stings with the victorious memory from January 2025 and January 2024, however, they should tread lightly given that Leipzig wasn't far behind, claiming their wins in August 2023 and January 2023.
The season records don't produce a clear front runner either, with both RB Leipzig and VfB Stuttgart holding mirror records of 13 wins each. Perhaps the next tie-breaker would be on recent performance stats, where Stuttgart has shown better consistency with recent wins against Augsburg and St. Pauli.
Taking into consideration all possible corners, turns, and U-turns, I'd say let's not be surprised if lightning strikes again.
Albert’s Prediction: VfB Stuttgart by 1
