Stuttgart vs. Werder Bremen: Match Prediction
Sebastian Hoeness's team has finally managed to keep a clean sheet. For a team of their level, conceding in nine consecutive league matches is quite unusual. However, Stuttgart's defensive issues have persisted throughout the season: the club has not kept a clean sheet in two consecutive games in the current league. Moreover, their previous opponent is among the three lowest-scoring teams in the tournament. On the other hand, Stuttgart's attack is in good shape: they are the fifth most prolific team in the league.
A similar situation is seen with Bremen. Only Wolfsburg has scored more than Werder in the lower half of the standings, and only a couple of bottom-tier teams have conceded more. Ole Werner's side has shown high scoring ability even on the road, netting at least twice in 7 of their last 9 Bundesliga matches. However, during this period, the team has conceded 14 goals.
Given these statistics, the upcoming match should be entertaining with goals. My prediction: Total over 3 goals
