Stuttgart hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 21 points and a 16th position in the Bundesliga table. Visiting Bayer Leverkusen holds 8th place with 42 pts.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
