Before playing in the Bundesliga, these two teams will first compete for the DFL Supercup trophy which will be presented this weekend. Who do you think will win? Of course most will choose Leverkusen, especially since they have not wavered at all. We can also see that Stuttgart this season will not be strengthened by Guirassy so they do not have a dangerous goal machine like last season.
Leverkusen is certainly still confident in being able to win their first title this season after becoming Bundesliga champions with an unbeaten record and this title will be Xabi Alonso's third collection if he can win it for Leverkusen. But overall this will probably still be a difficult match to predict and I think Stuttgart knows that they have to stop Leverkusen as a warning if they can still be counted on for next season.
Even a few years ago we considered Stuttgart a weak team. But this group cannot be considered weak at the moment. Last season Stuttgart's players performed well and managed to occupy the second place in the table. Qualifying for the Bundesliga was a big challenge for Stuttgart even a few years ago. But this team has consistently performed well in every match in the last season. If the defense was a little stronger, we could have seen more great performances from this team.
The Leverkusen team was unbeaten in the Bundesliga last season. The team has only been defeated in the final of the Europa League. Leverkusen had the best season in history without a doubt. Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso will want to maintain consistency this season as well.
Both Leverkusen and Stuttgart will be targeting wins in the Supercup final. And these two teams are quite strong this season too. In the friendly match, we saw a well-rounded performance from both the teams. So it is a bit difficult to make predictions about this match. But I would probably bet Leverkusen to win.
