Bayer Leverkusen-VfB Stuttgart Statistical Preview

Bayer Leverkusen Wendell returns from suspension to start at left-back. Kevin Kampl could start in central midfield again, with Lars Bender a doubt for the match. Admir Mehmedi and Stefan Kießling compete for a spot in the starting XI. VfB Stuttgart Christian Gentner is a doubt for the match and could be replaced by Lukas Rupp again. Carlos Gruezo is expected to replace the suspended Serey Dié alongside Rupp. Otherwise, manager Alexander Zorniger should field an unchanged team.
