Werder Bremen hold the stronger pre-match league position, but both teams’ home and away defensive records leave room for the leading scorers to shape the contest.
Before kickoff
The key question before kickoff
Can VfB Stuttgart’s home setting offset Werder Bremen’s stronger Bundesliga position? The pre-match table has Werder fifth on 15 points from 8 games, six points ahead of Stuttgart, who are 11th on 9 points from 8 games. Bayern München lead with 18 points, leaving Werder three points from the summit and Stuttgart nine points behind it.
Home edge versus away resilience
Stuttgart’s home record is 1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses. They have scored 6 home goals, an average of 2.00 per home game, but conceded 5, an average of 1.70, and kept 0 clean sheets. Werder’s away record is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss, with 7 goals scored at an average of 1.80 per away game and 9 conceded at an average of 2.30. They have also kept 0 away clean sheets.
The recent eight-match form samples point in different directions: Stuttgart’s most recent result is a loss, while Werder’s is a win. The preferred formations also differ, with Stuttgart using 3-4-2-1 in 5 matches and Werder choosing 4-2-3-1 in 6.
The goal threat to track
N. Füllkrug carries Werder’s clearest scoring record, with 9 goals in 8 appearances. Stuttgart’s main listed threat is E. Demirović, who has 5 goals in 8 appearances.
At kickoff, can Demirović exploit Werder’s 9 goals conceded away while Füllkrug tests a Stuttgart side yet to keep a home clean sheet?
