Bayer Leverkusen’s perfect home record and P. Schick’s 6 league goals frame the key question against a VfB Stuttgart side with 1 away win and 3 away defeats this season.
Before kickoff
The key question is whether VfB Stuttgart can disrupt Bayer Leverkusen’s perfect home record in this Bundesliga season. Leverkusen have won all 3 of their home games, scoring 8 goals and conceding 1, while Stuttgart have won 1 and lost 3 of their away games, conceding 8 goals. That is the clearest evidence behind the pre-match outlook at BayArena.
Schick carries Leverkusen’s goal threat
P. Schick has scored 6 goals and supplied 2 assists in 7 league appearances, making him Leverkusen’s leading listed attacking threat. E. Demirović is Stuttgart’s main scorer in the supplied chart, with 3 goals in 7 appearances. Their output will be central to a match between a home side ranked #4 with 13 points and an away side ranked #15 with 6 points.
Form and team news shape the question
Across the 7-match form samples, Leverkusen’s sequence is Loss, Win, Draw, Win, Win, Win, Loss; Stuttgart’s is Loss, Win, Loss, Loss, Win, Loss, Loss. Leverkusen will be without L. Bade, E. Ben Seghir, M. Diaby, K. Eichhorn, C. Kofane and M. Terrier, while G. Doue is questionable. Stuttgart list L. Sauer, T. Tomas and J. Vagnoman as missing, with J. Diehl, A. Stiller and D. Zagadou questionable.
Bayern München lead the provisional standings on 17 points; Leverkusen trail by 4 and Stuttgart by 11. The match starts at 14:30 UTC on Saturday, October 31, 2026. Can Stuttgart’s 3-4-2-1 disrupt Schick and Leverkusen’s home defence at kickoff?
