Stuttgart score 1st in 67% of their home matches compared to 27% for Werder Bremen away. In terms of which half the most goals are scored and conceded, both teams are near the 50/50 mark. 8 of the last 10 matches for Stuttgart have produced over 2.5 goals, including the last 3 matches. However, only 4 of the last 10 for Werder Bremen have produced over 2.5 goals, although 2 of the last 3 were over 2.5 goals, but Werder Bremen’s last 3 away matches were under 2.5 goals. H2H’s, particularly at Stuttgart, are heavily in Stuttgart’s favour, with 4 of the last 5 being home wins and only 1 Werder Bremen win. There has been no 0-0’s. I think Stuttgart will win this one 1-0 or 2-0.
