VfB Stuttgart
VfB Stuttgart lost twice in their last three Bundesliga games, but returned to winning ways in the DFB Cup last Thursday evening. They came back from a goal behind and won 2-1 against SC Freiburg, after extra time, reaching the Final in Berlin, where they’ll face Bayern Munich.
Speaking of Bayern Munich, VfB Stuttgart lost 4-2 against them last week, but they are still guaranteed a place in Europe next season.
What has been good is that this is the third straight season VfB Stuttgart has qualified for Europe, which is not something that happens often. The last time they played three consecutive years in Europe was between 2008 and 2011.
Anyhow, VfB Stuttgart wants to finish among the top four and play in the Champions League.
Their remaining four games are against Werder Bremen, TSG Hoffenheim, Bayer Leverkusen, and Eintracht Frankfurt. All those sides have their motives, but the good thing is that their next two after Werder Bremen are direct rivals for the last Champions League spot.
VfB Stuttgart’s Bundesliga games this year have almost all produced a lot of goals, with 8 of their last 10 ending with 3+ goals.
At home, VfB Stuttgart are stellar – 11 wins in 15 home games, including five wins in the last six matches.
Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen won 3-1 in a crucial duel against Hamburger SV last weekend, recording their third win in their last six Bundesliga games.
They are not yet safe, sitting six points above the relegation playoff spot before this round. They need around 3-4 points from the last four games to stay safe, and I am sure they will do it.
Werder Bremen picked most of their points at home (19 of 31), while their recent away form is not so good. They lost four of their last six on the road, including their last away game against Koln, 3-1.
The Betting Verdict
VfB Stuttgart is fourth in the Bundesliga before the start of this round, but that fourth place is shaky, with TSG Hoffenheim and Bayer Leverkusen both waiting to take over if they slip.
Werder Bremen is almost safe; they are still a bit short on points, but I genuinely believe they will win one of the last three games after VfB Stuttgart and secure their status for next season.
Here, I would back the higher-quality side of VfB Stuttgart to win at fair odds.
