Leverkusen against Stuttgart: A football cracker with defensive problems!

Stand: 31.10.2024 6:06 pm

The master Bayer Leverkusen will meet vice champions VfB Stuttgart on Friday (November 1st, 2024). Both teams stand for spectacular offensive football and fight with a common problem: the defensive.

Leverkusen had to have a painful experience last weekend when they conceded the compensation against Werder Bremen in the last minute. Defense chief Jonathan Tah was disappointed: "It feels like a defeat." The team has already played a lead four times this season, which causes unrest. In the 2023/24 championship season, this was unimaginable because they only allowed 24 goals.

Leverkusen against Stuttgart: A spectacle is facing

On Friday evening the air will crack when Leverkusen Stuttgart receives. In the past 15 months there have been four encounters in which an average of 3.75 goals per game fell. Trainer Xabi Alonso shaped a ball ownership from Leverkusen, which plays with patience and at speed. Stuttgart, on the other hand, has some defensive difficulties this season, with already 16 goals.

Stuttgart, under coach Sebastian Hoeneß, has only got 12 points from eight games in the Bundesliga and fights for the connection. Hoeneß has to do without defenders Jeff Chabot, who is blocked while ARREIE will get his chance. "We not only want to look good, we also want to take points with us," emphasizes Hoeneß. A victory against Leverkusen would be a surprise, especially since Stuttgart could only win once in the last 13 duels.
