Team News

Stuttgart
Werder Bremen
  • Head Coach Sebastian Hoeness has some injury concerns and suspensions to deal with.
  • Ameen Al Dakhil remains on the naughty step, but at least key men Angelo Stiller and Maxi Mittelstädt are both available after suspension.
  • Anrie Chase has a muscle injury, Dan-Axel Zagadou has suffered another knee injury, while Luca Raimund is feeling a thigh injury.
  • Josha Vagnoman, Dennis Seimen and Justin Diehl are all battling muscle injuries, while Nikolas Nartey has a thigh problem.
  • Head Coach Ole Werner has at least a few more options at his disposal after overcoming a recent injury crisis.
  • Milos Veljkovic has a calf problem, but barring late injuries, Werner has almost a full-strength squad to call on.
  • Ex-Bayern man Mitchell Weiser is available after suspension, while Silva, Ducksch, Njinmah, Burke, Grüll and Topp are all useful options up top.

Prediction

  • Stuttgart, runners-up last term, sit in ninth after garnering just eight points out of a possible 30, but VfB have won their last two games.
  • Four-time champs Bremen have won seven away games as opposed to only four at home, and managed to shock champions Leverkusen on their travels recently.
  • Stuttgart have let slip a league-high 18 points from winning positions this term to stutter in their quest to secure a Champions League spot once again.
  • The reverse fixture ended in a Desmond 2-2 but we back DFB-Pokal finalists VfB to gain the three points with BTTS.
