Leverkusen almost full, only long term injured Kruse is out.

On Stuttgart's side there are with Gentner, Didavi and Funk some out but only Gentner is important.

After a very good first half of the season Leverkusen is on a downtrend. The luck is gone and the matches went not their away at the moment. Maybe to much pressure on them now or maybe they think that they can win matches very easy now. But this is not the case and they should try to get back on track and work as hard as they can to win matches. If not all players do their job it is hard above all in Bundesliga.

Again and again, Stuttgart seems to be back in relegation battle. They had some very bad matches and lost deserved but against Bayern Munich they were almost the better side although the ball possession was on Bayern's side as always but the better chances and better and faster play was on Stuttgart's side. At the end they deserved here a draw at least but as always, the team from Munich win and win. The only thing what they can put out of this encounter is that they were on a high level and this can help them to avoid any bigger trouble. Some players left the club like Kvist and Molinaro.
