The Werkself have only lost one of the last 28 games against VfB Stuttgart. The Black and Reds are unbeaten in the last 14 meetings – that the longest such run against a Bundesliga team.
After four games at the BayArena in succession, this fixture is at VfB Stuttgart. The two league home games in 2022/23 and 2023/24 plus the DFB quarter-final in 2023/24 and the 2025 Supercup were played in Leverkusen.
16 different players have scored for Bayer 04 and VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga this term.
VfB are having mixed fortunes in the current campaign after doing brilliantly last season. Stuttgart are currently mid-table and – for the first time under coach Sebastian Hoeneß – they have gone four games without a win on the bounce and have recently given away the lead four times. Despite their mixed performances, Stuttgart still count as one of the most skilful teams in the league with lots of possession on average, a good passing game and they have also created the most big chances in the league. Ahead of today's clash, captain Atakan Karazor called on his team to "up their game." Further information on VfB can found in our lowdown on the next opponents.
