Werder Bremen - Stuttgart predictions

Though Werder Bremen definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Stuttgart are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

Stuttgart have their work cut out for them this Saturday. Most bookmakers online see them as the stronger team, made evident by the 2.29 betting odds for an away win. That’s a fairly slim advantage, though.

Werder Bremen will be looking to put the previous away defeat in the Bundesliga (1:0) as soon as possible. They were trailing at the halftime mark and never got to put their rivals in danger for the whole 90 minutes.

The visitors will be high on confidence following a compelling 2:0 victory over Bochum. They started the game slowly but still managed to pick it up after the break and record a big-margin win.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

We should point out that Stuttgart scored more than 5 goals over the course of their previous 3 home games. They’re visitors this time around, but it’s still worth noting for the benefit of bets like Over 5 Goals.

Werder are off to a rather mediocre start this season, but there’s plenty of time to improve their standing. They’re currently 12th on the table – though the odds given on them coming out on top this Saturday don’t inspire a lot of confidence.

These two squads met in the previous season of the Bundesliga, and the results were quite conclusive. Stuttgart won with a heft goal difference, which is partly why they’re considered the favourites even though they’re playing an away game.

Though the visitors are clearly considered favourites, they’ll have some additional hurdles to overcome for this match. Namely, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Jamie Leweling, Luca Raimund, Deniz Undav, El Toure, Ameen Al Dakhil will all be kept from the game due to injury. It’s a precarious position despite the team’s strength and should be kept in mind when looking at the betting odds.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1 if you use the 1xbet sportsbook.
