We're into two minutes of time added on here in Leipzig.

A half-time change for Leipzig as Upamecano replaces Konate in the defence.

Just a single minute of time added on at the end of this first half.

If only one thing is for certain in this game, it is that both sides are happy to have the ball across the pitch. Both Leipzig and Stuttgart play out from the back and have real confidence in keeping possession in tight areas. We're seeing that already.

Both sides have had good possession so far, with Kalajdzic close to getting on the end of a cross from Massimo down the right. Leipzig looking composed as ever in defence, and looking to take control of the ball in this game.

The ball is rolling in Leipzig with the sun shining on the hosts and Stuttgart for what should be a fun encounter.

Nine of Kalajdzic’s 14 league goals have come in his last 12 outings and he has been on the scoresheet in three of his previous five away matches. While no player in the league has won more challenges this season than Wataru Endo (428), who has 29 more successful challenges than his nearest rival.

Stuttgart have managed just one win from their last five on their travels (W1, D1, L3) and lost the last two away from home.

With a DFB Cup semi-final on the horizon, Nagelsmann opts to rest a few regulars, or at least not take any risks on the convalescent Poulsen, who has been carrying a thigh strain, and Sabitzer, who missed the Cologne game due to a calf complaint. Sörloth leads the attack with Kampl in midfield ahead of Sabitzer on the bench. Meanwhile, Angelino is back in the starting XI after being given his rest in midweek as he continues his return from injury. Konate starts ahead of Upamecano in the back three.

Kalajdzic's goals have been one of the reasons why Matarazzo's men are looking comfortable at the end of this season and the tallest player in the squad will be the target for their attacks again today, although he will once again have to do without the creativity of winger Silas, who is still ruled out with a knee injury, as is the enterprising full-back Sosa. With Mavropanos back from suspension, the back three is back to full strength, meanwhile.

Die Schwaben look set to finish comfortably in mid-table in their first season back in the Bundesliga. Matarazzo's side have, however, hit a rough spot with three straight defeats to Dortmund, Union and Wolfsburg. Stuttgart will be hoping to end the campaign on a more positive note while - with a now 11-point margin to Leverkusen in sixth - a late push for Europe is off the cards.

Since defeat to Bayern on Matchday 27, Leipzig have won only one of their last three in the Bundesliga as they have stalled in their push for a first ever Bundesliga title. A 4-1 defeat of Werder Bremen has been followed by 0-0 draw with Hoffenheim and a 2-1 loss to Cologne. Nagelsmann's side have not gone three games without victory all season.

Leipzig are currently three games without a victory on home soil (D2, L1), which is their longest dry spell at the Red Bull Arena all season.

With the gap still at 10 points, Leipzig need at least a draw at home to Stuttgart to take the race further following Bayern's shock defeat to Mainz yesterday. Win and the difference is seven points with three games remaining. Draw and it's nine points. In both scenarios, Leipzig are reliant on Bayern not winning again if they are to win the first trophy in their history (they are also in the DFB Cup semi-finals this season).
