RB Leipzig vs Stuttgart: Bundesliga Prediction (17.05.2025)

On Saturday, May 17 at 20:30 WIB, at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, RB Leipzig will host Stuttgart in the final Matchday 34 of the 2024–2025 Bundesliga season. The hosts still have a slim chance of reaching the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers, but only if Mainz drop points against Bayer Leverkusen and concede sixth place. As for the visitors, they are locked into eighth place and are already focusing on their upcoming German Cup final.

Given the remaining motivation in this match, bookmakers favor the home side. A win for the Red Bulls is priced at 2.13, a draw at 4.29, and a win for the Swabians at 3.10. Experts expect a high-scoring match, with over 2.5 total goals offered at low odds of 1.37. The same 1.37 odds apply for both teams to score.

RB Leipzig

In late March, the club parted ways with Marco Rose due to poor UEFA Champions League results and lackluster domestic form. He was replaced by Zsolt Löw, a Hungarian coach previously involved in the club’s management. However, the change hasn’t brought much improvement. RB Leipzig have won only 2 of their 7 matches under Löw and are currently on a four-game winless streak.

Stuttgart

Under Sebastian Hoeneß, Stuttgart have won their last two Bundesliga games—1–0 away at St. Pauli and 4–0 at home against Augsburg. However, this resurgence came too late to earn a European spot. Their focus is now on May 24, when they face Arminia Bielefeld in the DFB-Pokal Final, a match that could secure them a place in the UEFA Europa League group stage.

Head-to-Head Stats

Since 2023, the two sides have met five times, with Stuttgart leading 3 wins to 2. They have also won the last three head-to-head clashes, including a 2–1 home win in the first round of this season and a 3–1 victory in the German Cup semifinal in April.

Prediction

With motivation still on the side of the hosts and a packed stadium expected, RB Leipzig are unlikely to lose. Considering their opponent’s focus on the cup final, a logical bet is:

👉 RB Leipzig double chance (win or draw) & over 2.5 goals at 1.98 odds.
