Stuttgart vs Werder Bremen Prediction 26 April 2026
π One of the two Sunday matches in the 31st round of the Bundesliga takes place at the "MHP Arena," where Stuttgart host Werder Bremen. For the Swabians, it's crucial to maintain their spot in the top four to secure a Champions League berth. Dropping points in this scenario is highly undesirable. Werder Bremen come into the game in high spirits following their victory in the Northern derby, but their primary objective remains to keep a safe distance from the relegation playoff zone. In the first round in Bremen, Sebastian HoeneΓ's side thrashed their opponents, but last season at the "MHP Arena," it was Werder who claimed victory. What will happen this time?
Head-to-Head
π In the 14th round at the Weserstadion, Stuttgart secured their biggest away victory of the season with a 4-0 triumph. Bilal El Khannous, Jamie Leweling, Deniz Undav, and Chris FΓΌhrich all found the back of the net.
Head-to-head statistics Stuttgart - Werder Bremen
Stuttgart Team Overview
βͺ In the 30th round, Stuttgart fell to Bayern Munich (2-4), despite the Swabians taking an early lead through Chris FΓΌhrich. However, by the 52nd minute, they had conceded four goals. Chema Andres sealed the final score with a stunning strike from outside the box. This defeat dropped Sebastian HoeneΓ's side to fourth place, trailing RB Leipzig by three points, while holding a two-point advantage over fifth-placed Hoffenheim. Meanwhile, they maintain a four-point cushion over sixth-placed Bayer Leverkusen. Despite this setback, Stuttgart have already secured at least a sixth-place finish, ensuring European competition for the third consecutive year-a feat last achieved 16 years ago, from the 2007/08 to 2010/11 seasons. The club, however, is aiming for a Champions League spot, making it crucial to maximize points in the remaining matches.
π The DFB-Pokal adds to their schedule: on Thursday, the team advanced to the final by defeating Freiburg (2-1) after extra time. Undav equalized in the 70th minute, and Tiago TomΓ‘s secured the victory in the 119th. Stuttgart now aim to finish the season not only in the top four but also with silverware.
Match Results: Stuttgart
Werder Bremen Team Overview
π’ Werder secured a crucial victory in the northern derby last round, defeating Hamburg 3-1 at the Weserstadion. Jens Stage scored twice, and Cameron Puertas sealed the win in stoppage time. This triumph lifted Bremen to 15th place, leveling them on points with several rivals. While this result offered some relief in their survival battle, their position remains precarious. Throughout the season, Werder have frequently dealt with squad issues, hindering their ability to establish a consistent playing style and directly affecting their results. Daniel Thioune's side are highly unpredictable: in the last ten rounds, they have claimed four victories and suffered six defeats, without a single draw.
βͺ Werder are seven points clear of the relegation zone and five points ahead of the playoff spots. Therefore, accumulating points in the remaining rounds is crucial. An additional advantage could be their physical freshness; unlike Stuttgart, Bremen have had a full week to prepare for the match.

β Lazar Jovanovic is unavailable for the hosts. Finn Jeltsch is also doubtful to participate.
Werder Bremen
ποΈ Daniel Thioune on the match against Stuttgart: "In recent weeks, we've performed well off the ball, allowing very few shots on our goal. It's crucial for us to maintain this discipline. Everything will depend on our mentality, off-the-ball work, and patience. At the same time, we want to play football and control possession."
β Leonardo Bittencourt and Marco GrΓΌll will miss the match due to suspension. Felix Agu is still recovering. Karl Hein, Julian Malatini, Wesley Adebayo, Keke Topp, and Mitchell Weiser are also unavailable.
π¨ Yellow Card Prediction
The match will be officiated by Christian Dingert. In his last game, he issued two yellow cards, with an average of 3.6 over his last 10 matches. Stuttgart have received 57 warnings over 30 rounds (averaging 1.9 per match), while Werder have accumulated 66 (2.2 per match), making them one of the league's toughest teams. Considering this data, a total over 3.5 yellow cards could be a reasonable prediction.
β½ Goal Prediction
Stuttgart are the favorites, but their physical condition is in question after 120 minutes in the Cup. Werder might appear fresher, yet they rarely score more than one goal away from home. Given their head-to-head stats, it makes sense to consider a total under 3.5 goals, which has occurred in 7 out of the last 8 matches between these teams at the "MHP Arena".
π© Corner Prediction
Stuttgart are likely to hold territorial advantage and take more corners. On average, they earn 5.4 corners per match, ranking among the league leaders. Werder's average is 4.6. However, considering recent trends, an individual total for Werder over 2.5 corners could be insightful, as this has happened in 10 consecutive away matches.
Editor's Prediction
Despite a packed schedule and the associated fatigue, Stuttgart remain the favorites for this clash. The team boasts a superior squad quality and level of play compared to their opponents. Werder have been inconsistent, with injuries limiting their rotation options. However, the Bremen side can still put up a fight, especially if their opponents show signs of fatigue. We anticipate a challenging match, but expect the "Swabians" to prevail in the end. The main prediction is a Stuttgart victory. Expected scoreline: 2-1.
