In my opinion Stuttgart has really good chances to avoid a loss in today’s match.

Stuttgart didn’t lose in the last two matches against Leverkusen. Last game between both teams two months ago finished with a draw 1:1 at Stuttgart stadium, but that wasn't a fully deserved result as Stuttgart finished with 2.66 expected goals scored, Leverkusen 1.27.

For Stuttgart this is the highest priority game, no realistic chances for title in Bundesliga, but for sure they see a good opportunity in DFB Pokal to grab some cup at the end of the season. Guests' motivation is huge, no doubt about that. Stuttgart came for this game full of confidence as they won the last two league matches against two teams from top8 (RBL and Freiburg) and scored 8 goals in those matches! In addition to that, their key defender Ito and top scorer Guirassy are available today. It’s fantastic info. The team has all the required tools to go with momentum.

On the other hand, Leverkusen had serious squad problems before this game. Their best player (according to the ratings) Palacios is unavailable, same as best scorer Bonfiace and key defender Kossouniu. It's a huge blow and should have a very bad impact on their performance today. In addition to that, at the weekend Leverkusen is going to play an ENORMOUS match in Bundesliga at home against Bayern Munich. This game can make a big difference at the end of the season. For sure, today’s game is not the highest priority. Coach Xabi Alonso wants more Bundesliga title than DFB Pokal, no doubt about that.

In those circumstances double chance on away side looks like great value!

在我看来，斯图加特在今天的比赛中有很好的机会避免输球。

斯图加特在最近两场对阵勒沃库森的比赛中没有输球。两个月前两队之间的最后一场比赛在斯图加特球场1:1战平，但这并不是一个完全应得的结果，因为斯图加特的预期进球数为2.66，勒沃库森的预期进球数为1.27。

对于斯图加特来说，这是一场最重要的比赛，他们在德甲联赛中没有夺冠的机会，但可以肯定的是，他们看到了在赛季结束时夺取一些奖杯的好机会。客人的积极性是巨大的，这是毫无疑问的。斯图加特对这场比赛充满信心，因为他们赢得了前两场联赛中的两支球队(RBL和弗赖堡)，并在这两场比赛中打进了8球!除此之外，他们的关键后卫伊藤和最佳射手吉拉西今天可以上场。这是非常棒的信息。团队拥有所有所需的工具来保持动力。

另一方面，勒沃库森在本场比赛前有严重的阵容问题。他们最好的球员(根据评分)帕拉西奥斯缺阵，同样缺阵的还有最佳射手邦菲斯和关键后卫科苏尼乌。这是一个巨大的打击，应该会对他们今天的表现产生非常糟糕的影响。除此之外，周末勒沃库森将在德甲主场与拜仁慕尼黑进行一场重要的比赛。这场比赛会在赛季结束时产生很大的影响。当然，今天的比赛不是最重要的。教练哈维·阿隆索想要比德国足协主帅波卡尔获得更多的德甲冠军，这是毫无疑问的。

在这种情况下，客场的双倍机会看起来很有价值!
