RB enjoy playing against VfB

RB Leipzig have won 75 percent of all Bundesliga duels against VfB Stuttgart. The latter only prevailed in two draws at home last season. But that was a clear 5-2 victory.

Lipzig last won two games to start the year in 2022

The last time RB Leipzig won two of their first two games of a new year was in 2022, when they beat FSV Mainz 05 (4-1) and VfB Stuttgart (2-0). The Swabians have been waiting even longer for two wins in a row: in 2017, when they were still in League Two, VfB won twice in a row.

Guarantor of success Péter Gulácsi

Goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi is a guarantee of success for RB in matches against VfB. The Hungarian was in goal nine times against the Swabians and never lost a game. He conceded just two goals in the process.

Unbeaten for a long time with Simons and Raum

David Raum and Xavi Simons made their comebacks after lengthy injuries in the 4-2 win over Werder Bremen on Sunday. RB Leipzig are unbeaten in 18 Bundesliga games this season with Simons and 15 Bundesliga games with Raum in the starting eleven.
