fB Stuttgart arrives at WWK Arena as a more confident side, having picked up a few notable wins, including a 3-1 victory over Heidenheim and a dominant 5-1 win against Young Boys in the Champions League. However, their 0-1 loss to St. Pauli highlighted their susceptibility to disciplined defensive setups.
Stuttgart’s attack is their greatest strength, with the ability to score goals in bunches. Their away form has been solid, with a 3-2 win over Union Berlin showcasing their resilience. To secure three points, Stuttgart must exploit Augsburg’s defensive disarray while maintaining composure at the back.
RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig comes into this game as a wounded predator. A 5-1 humiliation against Bayern Munich last time out exposed frailties in their defensive structure, but their quality is undeniable. Leipzig thrives on high-octane football, built around relentless pressing and incisive passing. Their attack is spearheaded by clinical finishers who can punish even the smallest defensive lapse.
Despite their recent drubbing, Leipzig’s overall form is solid, with three wins in their last five matches. Notably, they dismantled Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 in the DFB Pokal and outplayed Holstein Kiel in a 2-0 away victory. Their ability to bounce back after setbacks has been a hallmark of their recent campaigns, making them a dangerous opponent.
At home, Leipzig is a fortress. Werder Bremen has never won at Red Bull Arena, and this statistic will give the hosts a psychological edge. However, Leipzig must tighten their defensive lines and avoid lapses in concentration to fend off Bremen’s counterattacking threat.

This match could be closely contested. Both teams have shown the ability to score goals but also have inconsistent performances. The strong home form of Stuttgart and the bad away form of B Leipzig makes Stuttgart the favourite.
Expect goals in this game and both teams to score as each team's recent performances suggest they are capable of finding the net but may struggle to maintain a lead. The potential scoreline could be 2-1 for either team of 2-2.
