RB Leipzig entered the season with title aspirations but have already suffered seven defeats - as many as the whole of last season. A 4-1 win over Mainz last weekend suggests better things on the horizon under new coach Domenico Tedesco. Three-time Bundesliga champions VfB Stuttgart sit just above relegation trouble with a host of injuries and COVID stress. They haven't scored in their last three matches and could provide Leipzig the chance to grab their first away win of the season. 0:2
