The German Bundesliga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Stuttgart and Werder Bremen go head to head at MHP Arena on Saturday.
Ole Werner’s Bremen are without a competitive away win since April and will head into the weekend looking to end this dry spell.
Stuttgart picked up where they left off before the international break as they secured a 2-1 victory over Frankfurt last Saturday.
Sebastian Hoeneß’s men have now won their last three matches across all competitions, including a 2-0 friendly victory over Nurnberg FC on November 16.
With 27 points from 12 matches, Stuttgart are currently third in the Bundesliga standings, seven points behind first-placed Bayer Leverkusen.
Werder Bremen, on the other hand, failed to find their feet as they fell to a 3-0 loss against Leverkusen last time out.
Werner’s men have now gone four consecutive games without a win, losing twice and claiming two draws since a 2-0 victory over Union Berlin on October 28.
With 11 points from 12 matches, Werder Bremen are currently 12th in the Bundesliga table, level on points with 13th-placed Heidenheim.
