Bayer Leverkusen-Stuttgart puts at stake access to the German Cup semifinals. Predictions for goalscorers, shooters and cautioned.
Bayer Leverkusen is the team of the moment. Undefeated on the season, the Xabi Alonso-led troop is first in the league and next weekend plays a direct clash at home against the chasing Bayern Munich. A win – it ended in a draw in the first leg – would allow the Aspirins to put a serious mortgage on the Bundesliga. It could be a truly decisive match.
But before the fixture of the year there is to face Stuttgart, another team that is doing well, in the quarterfinals of the German Cup. Normal to think of the hosts widely favored. But let’s take a look together, in this case, at what are the predictions for scorers, shooters and cautioned.
Bayer Leverkusen-Stuttgart, the prediction for scorer
To make up for the absence of Boniface, who will only return in April, Leverkusen has taken Borja Iglesias from Betis, but in this in-or-out match Xabi Alonso is relying on former Roma man Schick, who has returned to good levels after last year’s injury: he could stamp his marker. As for Stuttgart, on the other hand, watch out for Undav. One of the best in the season so far.
The predictions for cautions and shooters
This will be a hot match. And Xhaka is exalted in these matches, given his characteristics. The Swiss midfielder is one of those who never backs down, one of those who with his strength always manages to set things straight in the middle of the field. He could easily end up in the naughty notebook. Just as he could end up in the same Mittelstädt notebook as the guests.
Finally, shooters chapter: Frimpong and Grimaldo, outfielders of the hosts, could take at least three shots each. A conclusion in the mirror of the goal could be found by Tah – skilled with a header on a dead ball and a protagonist precisely against Stuttgart in the Bundesliga -, Xhaka and Wirtz in the Bayer ranks, while the biggest suspect in Stuttgart is Führich.
