- VfB Stuttgart are unbeaten in their last 2 Bundesliga 2026/2027 games and come into this contest off the back of two straight wins (away to Leverkusen 4-2 and Paderborn 1-0).
- SV Werder Bremen have conceded 9 away goals already.
- In the last 3 Bundesliga head-to-head meetings, the results have been split with 1 win apiece and 1 draw.
Stuttgart vs Bremen to be close and competitive at MHPArena
There isn't much between VfB Stuttgart and SV Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 table with the hosts sitting 10th with 9 points from their first eight matches and the visitors in 5th with 15 points from eight games.
That would suggest that this contest should be quite close and that is indeed our main selection in the full-time result market with the draw coming in at 77/20.
Stuttgart are the clear favourites at 12/25 to beat Werder Bremen, who are 43/10 outsiders, but that's simply because the visitors haven't been as consistent as their opponents who come into this with back-to-back wins. But the fact that Bremen are in a better position than their hosts suggests they have a real chance to cause an upset at MHPArena.
Die Schwaben more consistent, but Die Grün-Weißen are dangerous
The home side are on a two-match winning streak after beating Leverkusen 4-2 away and Paderborn 1-0 away, but the 2-3 defeat at home to Borussia Mönchengladbach last time out shows they are still a bit leaky at the back.
Sebastian Hoeneß, who took over as head coach on 3 April 2023, has a possession-first style that can make his side dangerous in transition.
Stuttgart can set up in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system depending on the opponents, but will always look to speed up the game with vertical passing and selective pressing, but may find it hard to get Bremen out of their compact shape on Saturday.
Füllkrug to fire Bremen into the driving seat
Daniel Thioune took over the reigns at Werder Bremen on 4 February 2026 and his compact, structured style has made the team hard to break down in phases.
The evidence for that is in Bremen's results and the fact that they have conceded nine goals on the road already in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 with one win, two draws and one defeat from four away games.
Bremen's best chance of getting a result in this game will be to sit deep and get bodies behind the ball when they lose the ball, before springing quick counterattacks. That could lead to a game of chess between Stuttgart's possession and Bremen's transitions, but the odds for over 2.5 goals at 3/10 points to an open game in the second half and both teams to score at 21/50 makes more sense with both teams going forward in phases.
Josha Vagnoman has been Stuttgart's leading Bundesliga 2026/2027 goalscorer with 2 goals in 4 games, but Ermedin Demirovic has supplied 4 of Die Schwaben's last 12 goals across their last 5 matches, so he will be a real threat to the Bremen defence from the box.
Niclas Füllkrug is the clear choice to score anytime for the away side, however, as he has scored 3 of Bremen's Bundesliga 2026/2027 goals and 7 of their last 9 overall.
This could be a close contest and we are favouring Stuttgart to just edge it, but the 5th-place position of the away side and Füllkrug's form suggest there will be at least a couple of goals in it.
