On May 17, 2025, RB Leipzig will face VfB Stuttgart at the Red Bull Arena in a highly anticipated German Bundesliga clash. An AI has predicted a victory for RB Leipzig, although the win probability stands at a relatively modest 37.9%, compared to Stuttgart's 34.1%, with a 28% chance of a draw. Leipzig, currently spearheaded by the dynamic young midfielder Xavi Simons, will be looking to improve on their recent form, which includes a series of draws against Werder Bremen, Bayern Munich and Holstein Kiel and a heavy loss against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Stuttgart, however, boasts a strong attack led by Serhou Guirassy, who has been in fine form this season. Their recent results show a mixed bag, with wins against FC Augsburg and St. Pauli offset by losses against 1. FC Heidenheim 1846 and Werder Bremen. The AI's prediction goes against recent head-to-head results, as Stuttgart has won most of the last direct clashes, including a 3-1 victory in the German Cup.
RB Leipzig's recent stumbles may make their fans nervous, but the AI seemingly factors in more than just past results.
