Stats for this game
Matchup Bayer Leverkusen VS VfB Stuttgart
Leverkusen won the seven-goal contest
On 16 March 2025, Bayer Leverkusen beat VfB Stuttgart 4–3 at the MHPArena. Stuttgart had repeatedly created separation, but Leverkusen’s late response changed the result. The scoreline gave Leverkusen a powerful reference for resilience and showed why an advantage in this matchup can remain vulnerable until the closing phase.
Stuttgart supplied a decisive response
The next cited Bundesliga meetings shifted the balance. Stuttgart won 4–1 at the BayArena on 10 January 2026, then beat Leverkusen 3–1 at home on 9 May 2026. Success at both venues makes Stuttgart’s answer more than a home-ground effect, while Leverkusen’s earlier comeback prevents the profile from becoming a simple one-way script. A future meeting will test whether Stuttgart can reproduce that separation or Leverkusen restore the control that once carried them through a dramatic away game. The pairing’s appeal lies in this capacity for a strong side to establish authority and still face a forceful reply.
