VfB Stuttgart will be looking to maintain their push for a top four finish as they travel to Werder Bremen for a Bundesliga fixture on Sunday. Stuttgart have been near perfect lately and should have the upper hand over Bremen, who have found things difficult in recent weeks.
Werder Bremen head into Sunday’s clash off the back of a 5-0 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen last time out in the Bundesliga. They were no match for the superior quality of the newly crowned champions and struggled to establish any kind of foothold in the game.
That result highlights a poor run of form for Werder Bremen, who have picked up just one win from their last 10 matches. They have lost six of the last seven in that run and are now just five points above the relegation zone.
Werder Bremen have also enjoyed very little home comfort in recent weeks as they are winless in their last four matches in front of their fans. Ole Werner’s men have been beaten three times in that run, including a 2-0 defeat to Wolfsburg in their previous home fixture.
In contrast to Werder Bremen’s struggles, Stuttgart appear to have found a second wind at the business end of the season. They are unbeaten in their last nine matches, claiming seven wins in that run.
Stuttgart were in rampant form in their previous Bundesliga fixture as they ran out 3-0 winners over Eintracht Frankfurt. All three goals came in the first half with Deniz Undav, Serhou Guirassy and Jamie Lewelling on target.
Sebastian Hoeness’ men have impressed on their recent travels, winning their last five away matches. They have also looked solid at the back lately, keeping clean sheets in four of their last five Bundesliga matches.
How the bookies view it
Stuttgart have the upper hand among the bookies and are priced at 3/5 by Betfred to claim the win. A victory for Werder Bremen is valued at 4/1 by William Hill while a draw is set at odds of 15/4 by bet365.
Head to head

Deniz Undav and Serhou Guirassy have formed a potential double act up front for Stuttgart, scoring 16 and 25 goals respectively. Undav is priced at evens by William Hill to score anytime while 888Sport is offering 17/20 on Guirassy in the same market.
