✨ Prediction

Our feeling is that Stuttgart will probably have the majority of the possession and should turn some of their chances into goals.

Conversely, Werder Bremen might well find it a difficult task scoring goals of their own but we do fancy them seeing enough of the ball to score, too.

We’re tipping a comfortable 1-3 margin for Stuttgart at the end of the match.
