- 勒沃库森在六场联赛中保持不败，尽管他们在过去的四场比赛中已经战平了三场
- 斯图加特在过去的八场比赛中只输了一场，唯一的一场失利是在拜仁慕尼黑
- 这对搭档最近五次交锋中有四次在90分钟后达到了水平，包括上赛季的联赛冲突和本赛季的德国超级杯
抽签专家勒沃库森可能再次被选中
在四场联赛中连续三场平局后，勒沃库森队落后德甲前两名拜仁慕尼黑队和莱比锡RB队五分，他们试图卫冕的目标可能无法在周五对阵斯图加特队的比赛中重回正轨。
在过去的三场德甲比赛中，拜耳一直被晋级的荷尔斯泰因基尔队和中盘云达不莱梅队所占据，这表明像斯图加特这样的欧冠球队可能会成为BayArena的棘手访客。
哈维·阿隆索的球队在8月的超级杯上被红军罚下点球，可能会再次被塞巴斯蒂安·赫内斯的球队击败。
斯图加特强大到足以获得一分
在勒沃库森在点球大战中获胜之前的90分钟后，这场比赛达到了终点，这对搭档在过去的五场比赛中有四场在技术上以平局结束，这一结果看起来又是一个大赢家。
斯图加特在过去的八场比赛中只输了一场，这场比赛包括战胜多特蒙德和尤文图斯，唯一的失利是在拜仁慕尼黑。
勒沃库森和斯图加特上赛季的两场联赛都达到了水平，看到这对在德甲积分榜上只相差三分的对手再次战平也就不足为奇了。
- Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten in six league games, although they have drawn three of their last four
- Stuttgart have lost just one of their last eight games, with that sole defeat coming away at Bayern Munich
- Four of the last five meetings between this pair have finished level after 90 minutes, including both league clashes last term and this season’s German Super Cup
Draw specialists Leverkusen likely be held again
A run of three draws from four league matches has seen Bayer Leverkusen fall to five points behind the Bundesliga’s top two, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig, and their attempted title defence may not get back on track against Stuttgart on Friday.
Bayer have been held by promoted side Holstein Kiel and mid-table Werder Bremen within their past three Bundesliga matches, suggesting a Champions League outfit like Stuttgart could prove to be a tricky visitor to the BayArena.
Xabi Alonso’s men were taken to penalties by the Reds in August’s Super Cup and could be frustrated by Sebastian Hoeness’ side once more.
Stuttgart strong enough to earn a point
With that clash finishing level after 90 minutes, before Leverkusen won on penalties, four of the past five meetings between this pair have technically finished as a draw, a result which looks a big runner again.
Stuttgart have lost only one of their last eight matches, in a run which includes wins over Borussia Dortmund and Juventus, with that solitary defeat coming away at Bayern Munich.
Both of last term’s league meetings between Leverkusen and Stuttgart finished level and it would be no surprise to see the pair, who are separated by only three points in the Bundesliga table, draw once more.
