Checking out h2h record between the two sides, we can say a tough match awaits the hosts. They have lost 7 of the 8 meetings against RB Leipzig, drawing just once.
On the other side, the visitors showed exciting attacking football last season, thanks to star man Christopher Nkunku, who scored 20 goals in Bundesliga 2021/22.
Although the guests have lost some key players, we believe they have enough strength to clinch victory in this matchup.
The hosts will be missing their top scorer Sasa Kalajdzic (6 goals), who caught the eye of the top clubs.
We expect that the hosts will struggle to find the net. Moreover, RB Leipzig have kept a clean sheet in 7 of their last 8 matches against Stuttgart in all competitions.
Stuttgart secured their Bundesliga place in dramatic fashion after beating FC Cologne 2-1, thanks to Wataru Endo’s injury-time goal on the final day of the season.
Meanwhile, Die Roten had enjoyed their pre-season friendlies, winning in all of them.
Pellegrino Matarazzo’s men come into this game on the back of a 1-0 win over Dynamo Dresden in the first round of the German Cup.

On the other hand, RB Leipzig will hope to have a better season in Bundesliga after ending the previous campaign in fourth place, their lowest finish since 2017/18.
However, last season, they claimed the first major trophy in their 13-year history after Domenico Todesco’s side edged past Freiburg 4-2 on penalties in the German Cup final.
Coming into this game, DFB-Pokal winners were defeated 5-3 by Bundesliga champions FC Bayern Munich in German Supercup last weekend.
This summer, RB Leipzig lost some key players, including Tyler Adams and Nordi Mukiele, to Leeds United and Paris Saint-Germain, respectively.
For the hosts, Sasa Kalajdzic has an ankle problem, while Alou Kuol is suspended for one match.
