Disaster for Leipzig
Leipzig are now down to nine as Openda is also off - Rose will have to deal without both of his starting strikers on Matchday 18.

A second yellow for Šeško sees him sent off. Is that the end of Leipzig's hopes of a point?

Turnaround complete!
Stuttgart have completed the comeback! They have been really positive this second half, and while Woltemade's goal is really a block from Raum's clearance, his commitment deserves that reward.
Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Undav doesn't get the contact he will have wanted as his low effort dribbles past the post.

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

All square!
In only his second game back at Stuttgart, Bruun Larsen is on the scoresheet, directing a header past Gulácsi from Undav's brilliant cross. The hosts are back in business.

Führich can't quite curl his effort into the corner after working himself some space on the edge of the box.

Save!
Xavi already has an assist to his name and almost grabs a goal to with it. In the end, though, Nübel is equal to his strong effort.

Post!
Close to a second for the visitors, but Openda's low effort after a counter-attack hits the post. Nübel looked well-beaten.

Good response
Stuttgart have done well since the goal, pushing forward in search of an equaliser. They are yet to create a real opening, though.

Clinical
A first opening for Šeško, and he makes no mistake as he slots beyond Nübel. Exactly the start Marco Rose will have been looking for.

A first real opening for either side. Vagnoman has plenty of time to pick his spot from outside the area, but he gets it all wrong and drags it wide.

Troubles on the road
Leipzig have struggled on the road of late, losing three of their past four matches. However, before this streak, they were triumphant in their previous 10 away from home, so Marco Rose will have hope that his team can prevail here.

Strong at home
Stuttgart's 1-0 lost to St. Pauli in their last match at the MHPArena was the first time in 29 Bundesliga matches under Hoeneß that they had failed to score on home soil. They have also not tasted defeat in successive home matches under the current boss.
Tale of the tape
Stuttgart were victorious the last time these two met, prevailing 5-2 last January. However, that was their first-ever victory against The Red Bulls, having lost nine and drawn two of their previous 11 meetings.
