Werder Bremen vs VfB Stuttgart

Werder Bremen and VfB Stuttgart are set to meet for the 111th time in the Bundesliga (37 Werder wins, 34 draws, 39 VfB wins) – only FC Bayern vs. Werder (115 games) and FC Bayern vs. Gladbach (112) has been played more often (Dortmund and Bayern are also facing off for the 111th time on matchday 12).

Werder Bremen’s 2-1 win over Holstein Kiel in their last home game was their first victory at the Weserstadion this season. They most recently won back-to-back Bundesliga matches at home in September 2023. They’ve scored just four goals at home this season (in 5 games) – only St. Pauli have netted fewer (0).

Werder Bremen lost 1-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt on matchday 11, but they haven’t suffered back-to-back defeats since March (4 back then). They responded to each of their first three Bundesliga defeats of this season with a win.

VfB Stuttgart are winless in their last three Bundesliga away games (D2, L1), with their only victory on their travels in the league this season coming in Mönchengladbach on matchday 3 (3-1). They’ve also failed to score in back-to-back Bundesliga away fixtures for the first time under Sebastian Hoeneß and the first time overall since April 2022.

Werder Bremen haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last nine Bundesliga games – only VfL Bochum are currently on a longer wait (27 matches). VfB Stuttgart have kept a clean sheet in two of their last three league games, having failed to do so at all across the first eight matchdays (conceded 16 goals in that timeframe).
