Stuttgart vs Werder Bremen prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2023-12-01 17:30.
Having only narrowly avoided relegation last season in the play-off, never in Stuttgart’s wildest dreams did they think they’d be sitting in the European places after 12 rounds of the following campaign. But that’s where they find themselves ahead of the visit of mid-table Werder Bremen, knowing that victory would further solidify their spot within the top six.
The chances of that appear plentiful for a Stuttgart side who have won five of their six home league games this season (L1), and they haven’t been goal shy in those either, netting at least twice in all six. Entertainment has been the name of the game for Die Roten at home this term, with their Bundesliga outings at the MHPArena averaging a whopping 4.33 goals per game.
While Stuttgart come into this clash in impressive form, Werder Bremen’s is quite the opposite, with just one win from their last seven Bundesliga games (D2, L4). At the other end of the optimism spectrum, Werder fans may point to the fact they’re actually unbeaten in three of their last four league outings (W1, D2), but amidst an ongoing eight match winless run on the road in Bundesliga action (D1, L7), it’s hard to see them building upon that.
Sluggish starts can perhaps shoulder some of the blame for Bremen’s away day woes, as their solitary first half Bundesliga goal scored on the road this term is a joint-league low. Sources of inspiration are few and far between for Werder, as is further evidenced by a run of one win from the last seven away H2Hs (D2, L4), but there is perhaps a glimmer of hope in the fact that sole victory came in this corresponding fixture last season.
Players to watch: With seven goals in his first nine Bundesliga appearances for Stuttgart, Deniz Undav is one of just four players in the club’s history to achieve such a feat. Marvin Ducksch rounded off the scoring on Werder’s last visit to Stuttgart, but four of his six club goals this season have served as game openers.
Hot stat: No Bundesliga team has conceded fewer second-half home league goals than Stuttgart’s one.
