Werder Bremen looking to end seven-game winless streak.
After a crushing defeat to newly crowned Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen, Werder Bremen aim to end their seven-game winless streak as they host high-flying Stuttgart at Wohninvest Weserstadion on Sunday.
Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen suffered their fourth defeat in five games last weekend with a 5-0 loss to newly crowned Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen. However, favorable outcomes in other fixtures allowed the River Islanders to hold on to 12th place on the Bundesliga table.
With 31 points from 8 wins, 7 draws, and 14 losses, Werder Bremen will be looking to end their seven-game winless run in the league when they take on Stuttgart on Sunday. During this winless period, Die Werderaner have managed to pick up just two points.
Manager Ole Werner is expected to deploy a 3-5-2 formation, with Nick Woltemade and Marvin Ducksch in attack. However, Jens Stage is suspended for this fixture after receiving a red card in the 1-1 draw against Frankfurt.
In other news, Werder Bremen has suspended Naby Keïta until the end of the season following his refusal to travel with the team after learning he would start from the bench against Bayer Leverkusen. The club also imposed a substantial fine on the former Liverpool midfielder.
VfB Stuttgart
Stuttgart are in 3rd place on the Bundesliga table with 63 points, boasting a record of 20 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses. They have picked up back-to-back victories, recently defeating Frankfurt 3-0, which secured their place in next season's UEFA competition for the first time in 11 years.
VfB Stuttgart's 63 points after 29 games marks their best haul at this stage in Bundesliga history. Remarkably, they have already accumulated 30 points more than the entire previous season, where they finished in the relegation playoff spot in 16th place.
With just as many points as second-placed Bayern Munich, an unprecedented second-place finish now looks likely. On Sunday, VfB, who have only lost one of their last eight matches against Werder Bremen (5 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss), will be keen to add to their tally against the hosts.
Serhou Guirassy is expected to lead the attack in Sebastian Hoeneß’s 4-2-3-1 formation.
