Leipzig didn’t have a very strong start to the Bundesliga, losing 1-0 to Mainz and will be looking to get it right when they host Stuttgart in the second week of action. They start the week placed 14th while Stuttgart, the biggest winners on opening day, are top of the table. Leipzig’s run right from preseason wasn’t very encouraging and going into this game they have two wins in their last five matches. They have kept two clean sheets in five matches but failed to score in just one of the five – the 1-0 loss to Mainz. It isn't rosy at home too, with Leipzig on one win in five there, having managed just one clean sheet and conceded two or more goals in three of the five. Both teams have scored in four of Leipzig's last five home matches and three of the five have produced over 2.5 goals. They weren't very strong finishers at home last season, with one win in the final five league games but a silver lining is that they are unbeaten in six meetings with Stuttgart.

Stuttgart go into this game on a much better run; three wins and a draw in their last five matches, though keeping just one clean sheet and cocending two goals in two of the five. They have two straight wins going into this clash and have scored 11 goals in them. Stuttgart beat BFC Dynamo 6-0 in the DFB Pokal before seeing off newly promoted Greuther Furth 5-1 in their league opener. They now have five wins and a loss in the last seven matches but both sides have scored in three of their last five matches. Stuttgart have had a good run away from home in their recent matches, having won each of the last three and scored in four of the last five.
