Stuttgart have been in great form lately and are on the right track to
secure a European spot for next season. Their attacking players, in
particular, can decide games at the moment.
Bremen's development has gone the opposite way. They are not in their
best form at the moment and need a result to claim a top-7 spot again.
Expect this to be an open game. Stuttgart's current form and their attacking quality could come out on top in the end.
VfB Stuttgart 2 - 1 Werder Bremen
