Stuttgart will host Werder Bremen at the Mercedes Benz Arena on Sunday (February 5) in the Bundesliga.
The hosts have endured a rather difficult campaign with new manager Bruno Labbadia now tasked with keeping them in the top flight. Stuttgart lost 2-1 to high-flying RB Leipzig in their last league game. They were two goals down before Chris Fuhrich halved the deficit from the spot midway through the second half. Stuttgart are 15th in the standings with just 16 points from 18 games.
Werder, meanwhile, have had mixed results this season. They returned to winning ways with a 2-1 home win over in-form Wolfsburg, with team top scorer Niklas Fullkrug scoring both goals.
The visitors have picked up 24 points from 18 games this season and are tenth in the league table.
