On the 12th of February, in this week 22 match, Bayer Leverkusen will play host to Stuttgart in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Bundesliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 3 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Bayer Leverkusen sits at 3rd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 5-2 win against Borussia Dortmund. Manuel Akanji scored the first goal for Bayer Leverkusen on an own goal in the 11th minute, then Jeremie Frimpong tied it up for Borussia Dortmund on an own goal in the 16th minute , but fortunately for Bayer Leverkusen it didn’t end there. They added more goals to be able to earn themselves the win. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Bayer Leverkusen should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, Stuttgart recorded a 2-3 loss against Eintracht Frankfurt. Evan N’Dicka struck first for Eintracht Frankfurt in the 7th minute on a feed from Jesper Lindstrom, then in the 42nd minute, Chris Führich sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Waldemar Anton , but Eintracht Frankfurt kept scoring and walked away with the win. Stuttgart looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
In their last match together, in Mercedes-benz-arena, Bayer Leverkusen was victorious by a score of 3 to 1 in front of a crowd of just over 23000 fans. Robert Andrich struck first for Bayer Leverkusen in the 2nd minute, then Patrik Schick added another in the 19th minute.
Kalajdzic and Waldemar Anton are the top scorers for Stuttgart in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.. Moussa Diaby has been on a hot streak lately. In the last 5 games, the attacker has scored 4 goals for Bayer Leverkusen
