Stuttgart vs. RB Leipzig - prediction, lineups and free live broadcast

The Bundesliga clash between VfB Stuttgart and RB Leipzig on January 15, 2025, promises to be a compelling encounter, as both teams vie for vital points in their pursuit of European qualification. Currently positioned seventh in the league, Stuttgart enters this match with aspirations of breaking free from a series of draws that have hindered their campaign. In contrast, Leipzig sits fourth and is motivated to improve their away form following a recent victory against Werder Bremen .

Stuttgart will hope Undav's return might help to gel a forward partnership with Ermedin Demirović. Seven goals in 16 appearances has marked a decent start for the summer signing - and a big performance from the pair against Leipzig could definitely be on the cards from a side that outscored the visitors last season (with 78 goals to Leipzig's 77).

A flurry of four goals in five appearances between November and December saw Nick Woltemade deputise capably for Undav - whom he partnered up front with in Augsburg after Undav came on for Demirović. With all three keen for playing time and further strikes, a Leipzig defence that conceded five times on their last trip to Stuttgart has good reason to be wary.

Stuttgart possible starting lineup: Nubel; Vagnoman, Rouault, Chabot, Mittelstadt; Millot, Karazor, Stiller, Fuhrich; Woltemade, Demirovic

RB Leipzig possible starting lineup: Gulacsi; Klostermann, Orban, Seiwald; Baku, Kampl, Vermeeren, Raum; Openda, Xavi; Sesko

After suffering a heartbreaking injury in the final stages of Leipzig's 5-1 defeat at the hands of Bayern München before the breaks, fullback Benjamin Henrichs will miss the remainder of the campaign. 

Castello Lukeba also remains out with a hamstring problem, the same goes for Yousuff Poulsen who is suffering from a thigh injury. 

In terms of team news, Stuttgart faces notable challenges due to injuries affecting key players such as El-Bilal Toure and Dan-Axel Zagadou. These absences could impact Stuttgart's defensive solidity and attacking options . Meanwhile, RB Leipzig also grapples with significant injury concerns; they will miss Benjamin Henrichs due to a season-ending injury and Castello Lukeba with a hamstring issue. Additionally, Amadou Haidara's suspension further complicates Leipzig's lineup decisions.

Predictions for the match suggest that Stuttgart may have the upper hand despite their injury woes. The odds favor them at 23/20 given their home advantage; however, the absence of several key players raises questions about their ability to capitalize on this opportunity . While no information regarding free live broadcasts is available at this time, fans are encouraged to follow updates through official channels as the match approaches.
