Stuttgart Preview: Winless streak finally at an end

Stuttgart finally got themselves back to winning ways in the Bundesliga last week and did so in commanding fashion. They thrashed relegation-threatened Bochum by four goals to nil, potentially a consequence of their victory in the DFB-Pokal semi-final against RB Leipzig.

Even with the final on the horizon, Stuttgart should be fully focused on league matters and will want to go into that match on the back of some good results. The shackles were taken off these Stuttgart players last time out and they’ll hope to continue in that vein.

Werder Bremen Preview: Three wins from last four

Werder Bremen made it back-to-back league victories with an eye-catching 2-0 triumph over Champions League chasing Eintracht Frankfurt. Oliver Burke opened the scoring for Werder, before Romano Schmid sealed the three points inside the final ten minutes.

Victory here for the visitors would see them go above Stuttgart in the Bundesliga table with just one point separating the pair. With that in mind, motivation is high for them to go for a win here rather than play for a draw.

Stuttgart Team News: Vagnoman could be back

Werder Bremen Team News: Almost fully fit squad 

Aside from Veljkovic’s muscle injury rendering him a doubt, Ole Werner should have a fully fit squad to choose from ahead of this match. After his goal against Frankfurt, Oliver Burke is likely to keep his place up top alongside Marvin Ducksch.

Predicted XI (3-5-2): Zetterer; Stark, Friedl, Pieper; Weiser, Stage, Lynen, Schmid, Agu; Ducksch, Burke

Questionable: Veljkovic (Injured)

Stuttgart vs Werder Bremen Prediction

These two teams come into this game on the back of wins and that alone will give them a high level of confidence heading into this one. Werder Bremen won’t be afraid to deploy an offensive playstyle, knowing that victory takes them above Stuttgart in the table. But on the flipside, Stuttgart have been revitalised recently from an attacking perspective and they will surely push plenty of bodies forward. Therefore, goals could be in the offing and backing over 2.5 of them here appears a shrewd play.
