Werder Bremen got hammered 5-0 by Bayer Leverkusen in the previous round and got a front-row seat of the new German champions. The sad thing for Werder is that they are one of the teams that have won the Bundesliga, but are now far from it. Here to continue piling on the misery for them are now Stuttgart, who are one of the pleasant surprises this season and are well on their way to securing Champions League football next season.
Werder Bremen Team News
While the 5-0 defeat to Leverkusen last time out was just 1 defeat, it is worth mentioning that Werder is in a 7-game winless streak. Even more heartbreaking for the team is another fact – 6 of these games have been defeats and just 1 ended in a draw. It is only logical that this translates into home form, where Werder has been unable to find the winning route in their last 4 home fixtures. So bad is the host’s form that if we look at their last 5 Bundesliga games and compare them to every other team in the league, we will find that only Bochum shares Werder’s atrocious form.
VfB Stuttgart Team News
Stuttgart secured 2 key victories in the previous 2 rounds – one over 6-th placed Eintracht, but the away win to their top 4 pursuers, Dortmund, was the one that mattered. And if Werder’s form is on the one extreme, Stuttgart are on the other. After the win over Eintracht, the team extended their unbeaten streak to 11 Bundesliga games. Out of those 11 games, only 2 were draws and rather surprisingly they came at home. A detailed look will reveal, that except for the victory over Dortmund and the draw with Koln, all other games within this streak saw Stuttgart score at least 2 goals per game.
Head-to-Head-Games
Recent head-to-head statistics indicate that Stuttgart are the team with an advantage – 3 victories from the last 5 meetings with Werder, while the latter has just 1 win. Werder is also without a victory over Stuttgart in the last 3 games in which they hosted them. They ended in 2 draws and a victory for Die Schwaben.

Werder Bremen – VfB Stuttgart Betting Prediction
Werder’s recent performances leave much to be desired for the team and they are slipping closer to the relegation line. Points will be needed, but against Stuttgart, it will be more than tough. Die Schwaben have only the league to concentrate on and they will want to secure the 3 points here and solidify their place in the top 4. I expect Stuttgart to win here in their usual fashion – with a healthy amount of scoring. Hence why, my pick is for them to win and the game to feature over 1.5 goals.
