On Sunday afternoon, Werder Bremen and Stuttgart clash at the Weserstadion as the visitors look to consolidate their top-four spot in the Bundesliga.
Werder looking to end their torrid run of formOle Werner’s team are winless in their last seven games in the German top-flight. A 5-0 win at Bayer Leverkusen last time out was their fifth defeat in their last six Bundesliga outings.
The home team is now in 12th place in the table, five points clear of the relegation play-off spot.
Werner’s main issue in recent weeks has been poor defensive performances. They have conceded at least two goals in five of their last six matches.
Die Werderaner are winless in their last four home games in the Bundesliga, having picked up just one draw and suffered three defeats. Werder have conceded at least two goals in three of their last four home matches on their travels.
Stuttgart looking to extend their recent strong Bundesliga formDie Roten extended their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to 11 games with a 3-0 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt last time out.
The victory consolidated Stuttgart’s position in third place, seven points adrift of fifth-place Dortmund.
Stuttgart have been lethal in front of goal in recent months, scoring at least two goals in five of their last six Bundesliga outings.
Guinea striker Serhou Guirassy has been in red-hot scoring form, with seven goals in his previous six Bundesliga appearances.
Sebastian Hoeness’ team has been outstanding on their travels in the Bundesliga, winning their last five league games away from home.
Stuttgart have been prolific on their travels lately in the German top-flight, having scored at least two goals in five of their last six away games.
What am I backing?The two teams couldn’t head into this game in more contrasting form. I am going with the form book for this clash, so the bet I am backing is the away win.
