Werder Bremen vs VFB Stuttgart 1893 Prediction: Can Stuttgart gain momentum?

An exciting matchup between two teams who are looking to make a push into the top six of the Bundesliga will take place on Saturday afternoon at the Weserstadion. Werder Bremen will be hosting Stuttgart for the matchup. Over the past weekend, Stuttgart defeated Bochum by a score of 2-0 in front of their home fans, putting a stop to their three-game losing streak across all competition boundaries.

On this particular occasion, the opponents were only allowed two shots on goal, indicating that Sebastian Hoeness's team had complete control over the events that took place on the field. On the league table, Stuttgart is currently ranked ninth. For this weekend, they will be hoping to add another victory to their record.

After claiming four points from the previous two league games played in their own backyard, they will be hoping to get back on track tonight, with the goal of continuing their good home run. Seven days ago, Bremen was defeated by Eintracht Frankfurt in a match that was played away from home.

Werder Bremen

The 2024-25 Bundesliga season has gotten off to a rocky start for Werder Bremen, as they have accumulated four wins, three draws, and four losses from their first eleven matches. With 17 goals scored and 22 goals surrendered, Werder has struggled to maintain consistency throughout the season.

Over the course of their most recent four matches across all competitions, Ole Werner's team has shown a pattern of alternating between winning and losing. Their most recent defeat came in the form of a close 1-0 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, who were in second position. 

The most recent victory for Bremen, a 2-1 victory at home over Holstein Kiel, brought an end to a four-match losing drought on their own turf. Bremen will try to build on this victory when they return to Weserstadion. 

VFB Stuttgart 1893

A solid 2-0 victory against Bochum in the Bundesliga last weekend allowed Stuttgart to halt a three-game losing record across all competitions. On Wednesday, they were defeated by Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League by a score of 5-1, which was a crushing defeat for them. However, their momentum rapidly ran out again.

Stuttgart is going to have a difficult time competing in the Champions League. With three matches left to play, they are currently ranked 27th out of the 36 teams in the rankings, and they are already two points behind the last 16 playoff berths. Even though crucial matches against the two teams that are currently in last place in the group, Young Boys and Slovan Bratislava, are still to come, Stuttgart's attention is currently being directed back toward domestic affairs.

Stuttgart will be returning to Bundesliga action with the goal of improving their present ninth-place ranking and putting an end to a three-game winless run on the road. It is possible that a victory may revive their efforts to move up the league table to a higher position.

Expert Betting Tips

Over the course of the last 56 away matches versus Werder Bremen, Stuttgart has only managed to win 13 of those matches. During their previous trip to Weserstadion, which took place in April of this year, they were defeated by a score of 1-2.

A difficult beginning to the season has been followed by Werder's improvement in their home play. In their two most recent matches played at home, respectively against Bayer Leverkusen and Holstein Kiel, they scored two goals in each of those matches. Only one of Stuttgart's five league games played away from home resulted in a victory, and the team went on to concede ten goals.

In addition to that, they faced a challenging flight to Belgrade for the Champions League on Wednesday evening. Based on these factors, I expect Werder to win or draw this game.
