Stuttgart vs Werder Bremen prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-04-12 13:30.
[p]After the high of reaching the DFB-Pokal final, Stuttgart thrashed Bochum 4-0 to end a six-match winless run in the Bundesliga (D2, L4). Qualifying for Europe for a second successive season through their league position remains a tall order, with Sebastian Hoeneß’s men beginning the weekend four points shy of the top six with just six games left to play.[/p]
[p]Four successive Bundesliga defeats on their own turf – a joint-club record – have undermined their progress, but Stuttgart remain proficient in front of goal, scoring in each of their six home league games in 2025. Maintaining that return against upcoming visitors Werder Bremen could be tricky, as Stuttgart have won just one of the last five H2Hs at any venue (D2, L2). [/p]
[p]After a mid-season blip of their own, Bremen are back on the fringes of European contention and within a point of Stuttgart following back-to-back victories, both of which were accompanied by a clean sheet. A first set of three successive top-flight shutouts for the first time since May 2020 is in their sights, but as the only side in the division to have both scored and conceded at least 45 Bundesliga goals pre-round, solidity is far from guaranteed with Ole Werne’s men.[/p]
[p]The road has been a happy hunting ground for the River Islanders, who’ve collected 23 of their 39 points away from home (W7, D2, L5). Only the top two can better that heading into the weekend, yet just two of those victories came against sides starting the round above them (D1, L5), with those five defeats seeing Bremen concede a whopping 17 total goals.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Stuttgart’s Ermedin Demirović scored the first hat-trick of his senior career last week and will be looking forward to facing Bremen, having netted twice against them in November’s reverse fixture (D 2-2). Romano Schmid scored and assisted in Werder’s 2-0 win over Frankfurt last weekend – the first time he has done so in the same game since May.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Stuttgart have scored at least once inside 15 minutes in five of their last seven matches. [/p]
