Command Analysis
Bayer Leverkusen
GermanyCurrent form
Bayer had the best season in its history. They managed to win the title of national champion for the first time, and also won the German Cup. Xabi Alonso's team was close to winning the Europa League, but lost to Atalanta in the final (0:3). It is impossible not to note the impressive series of 52 matches without defeat by Leverkusen.
The main achievement of the off-season is that we managed to keep Xabi Alonso as head coach and almost the entire main team. The only thing is that the question of Jonathan Tah's possible transfer to Bayern is still open. At the same time, we managed to strengthen almost every line - we acquired defender Januel Belosian and forward Martin Terrier from Rennes, as well as midfielder Aleix Garcia from Girona.
In the off-season , Bayer looked ambiguous in friendly matches. They managed to win only against modest Essen (2:1). They drew with Lens (2:2) and Betis (1:1), and lost to Arsenal with a score of 1:4.

VfB Stuttgart
GermanyCurrent form
Stuttgart managed to "shoot" last season quite unexpectedly, considering that it did not have a strong and balanced squad by Bundesliga standards. Nevertheless, it managed to finish in second place after Bayer, ahead of the formidable Bayern. In the Super Cup, the Swabians are playing thanks to today's opponent, who not only won the championship, but also the German Cup.
The season had barely ended when the squad began to suffer losses. Waldemar Anton and Serou Guirassy moved to Borussia Dortmund, and Hiroki Ito to Bayern. Midfielder Fabian Rieder and striker Ermedin Demirovic were signed. Overall, of course, Sebastian Hoeneß will have to re-adjust the tactical schemes, which will not be easy given the loss of the leaders.
It is no coincidence that https://www.vfb.de/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stuttgart played six friendly matches in the off-season, winning five and drawing one. Among serious opponents, we can note Athletic Bilbao, which they managed to defeat with a crushing score of 4:0.

1.65Tip and bets
Last season, the rivals met three times - two matches in the Bundesliga and one in the Cup. In the championship, both matches ended in a draw, and in the cup meeting, Bayer won with a score of 3:2. We believe that today the hosts will have a better chance of winning their first trophy in the new season. Stuttgart had too many losses in the squad, and in all areas. It is unlikely that they will be able to immediately set up the bright attacking game that the team demonstrated in the last championship. Bayer, on the contrary, managed to keep the championship squad almost entirely and is ready to start a new series of victories today.
Our prediction is a victory for Bayer with odds of 1.90
Bet on total
If last season is anything to go by, both teams play with a decent emphasis on attack and regularly score a decent number of goals. In addition, at least four goals were scored in the two previous head-to-head encounters.
The second bet is total over three goals with odds of 1.92
Combined rate
It is logical to expect an exchange of goals in a match between two teams with decent attacking potential. Moreover, events developed according to this scenario in the four previous face-to-face matches. Accordingly, it is worth taking a risk and playing a combined bet that today we will see a victory for Bayer and goals from both opponents.
Prediction: Bayer win and both teams to score with odds of 3.20
