Can Werder Continue Their Impressive Bundesliga Form? Stuttgart vs Werder Bremen Prediction | November 7, 2026
Stuttgart host Werder Bremen on November 7 in the ninth round of the Bundesliga. Both teams have shown some inconsistency this season, but the visitors arrive in better league form, having gone seven consecutive matches without defeat. Stuttgart, meanwhile, will be looking to respond after their Champions League loss to Galatasaray.
Stuttgart
Stuttgart come into this fixture following a 2-0 defeat to Galatasaray in the Champions League. After four Champions League matches, Stuttgart have collected seven points and sit 14th in the standings. Before that setback, they had recorded two consecutive victories, beating Paderborn in the DFB-Pokal before securing an impressive 4-2 Bundesliga win over Bayer Leverkusen. Their domestic campaign has been less convincing, with three wins and five defeats from eight league games. They have scored 14 goals and conceded 15, leaving them 11th in the table, four points away from the European qualification places.
Stuttgart have also struggled to make the most of their home advantage, winning only one of their three matches on their own ground. However, their attacking numbers offer some encouragement. They have recorded 126 shots on goal and completed 52% of their passes in open play, while their 820 duels won rank fourth in the Bundesliga. They are also among the league's leading teams for open-play crosses, with 88.
- Possible Stuttgart lineup: Seimen, Jeltsch, Chabot, Hendriks, Assignon, Promel, Spalt, Mittelstadt, El Khannouss, Fuhrich, Demirovic.
Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen arrive in considerably better form after beating Hoffenheim 2-0 in their previous match. That victory extended their unbeaten Bundesliga run to seven games. They have suffered only one defeat across their last eight competitive fixtures, with that loss coming against Borussia Dortmund in the DFB-Pokal.
Werder have made a strong start to the league campaign, collecting 15 points from eight matches through four wins, three draws and one defeat. They currently occupy fifth place, just three points behind leaders Bayern Munich. Their away record is relatively balanced, with one victory, two draws and one defeat.
The visitors have scored 17 Bundesliga goals, three more than Stuttgart, despite averaging less possession at 46%. They have completed 84.7% of their open-play passes and covered 972.7 kilometres, the third-highest distance in the league. Their attacking output has also been supported by three converted penalties, making them the Bundesliga leaders in both penalties awarded and penalties scored.
- Possible Werder Bremen lineup: Hein, Arthur, Pieper, Friedl, Deman, Reis, Regeer, Dinkci, Chuki, Grull, Fullkrug.
Head-to-Head
The last 10 meetings between Stuttgart and Werder Bremen have been closely contested. Stuttgart have won four times, Werder have claimed three victories, and the remaining three matches ended in draws.
However, the recent record favours the visitors, who have avoided defeat in four of the last five encounters, winning twice and drawing twice. Werder have also conceded in six consecutive meetings, while both teams have scored in four of the last five fixtures. Four of those five matches produced at least three goals.
Key Trends
- Werder Bremen are unbeaten in their last 7 Bundesliga matches.
- Werder have lost only 1 of their last 8 competitive matches.
- Stuttgart have won only 1 of their 3 home league matches this season.
- Werder have avoided defeat in 4 of their last 5 meetings with Stuttgart.
- Both teams have scored in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings.
- 5 of Werder's last 6 matches have seen over 2.5 goals.
- Both teams have scored in 8 of Werder's last 9 matches.
Prediction
Stuttgart have enough attacking quality to cause problems for Werder, particularly at home, where their ability to create chances and their tendency to score first could prove important. However, their defensive record remains a concern, with 15 goals conceded in eight Bundesliga matches. Werder have been more consistent in the league and have demonstrated greater reliability over recent weeks. Their seven-match unbeaten run, stronger position in the standings and positive recent head-to-head record give them reasons to approach this fixture with confidence. At the same time, their defensive record against Stuttgart suggests that keeping the hosts quiet will not be straightforward. With both sides capable of scoring and Werder arriving in stronger form, an entertaining contest is expected. Recommended Bet: Over 3 Total Goals
