Stuttgart has most certainly lost their edge, and the recent blunder during their match against Holstein, who are struggling to stay afloat, was a true depiction of the mess in the camp of last season’s second place team. In these matches, his team was expected to earn a minimum point regardless of form. The Swabians have only won one of their last seven Bundesliga matches (two draws, four defeats). If last season they suffered only a single defeat at home, then this season they have already given up five times on their own turf, three of those in a row. They haven’t achieved victory in the league in their last four matches (two draws, two defeats) and the last time they went this long without winning was a year ago. In the meantime, they are on a scoring streak, having found the net in six matches in a row. Currently, the team sits in eighth position and are only two points shy from the European qualification places.
Bayer was compelled to use squad rotation because of their participation in the Champions League, which has not yielded positive results for them. In the last match, Leverkusen surprisingly lost at home to Werder 0-2. This defeat came as a surprise to many as it was only their second defeat in the Bundesliga season (15 wins, 8 draws) and Xabi Alonso’s men did not score four times this season.
Despite this defeat, Bayer is still in with contention claiming the second spot in the table with 55 goals along with the second highest total in the league. Also, this strategy of rotation did not aid in the return fixture versus Bayern in the Champions League where the “Pharmacists\” suffered another defeat, this time 2-0, knocking them out of Europe’s premier tournament.
