VFB Stuttgart host Werder Bremen in the Battle of the Bundesliga this week-end

Werder Bremen is going to have to rely on their tried and tested top scorers on Saturday if they are going to get the better of VFB Stuttgart at the Gottlieb-Daimler Stadium. The local boys, currently placed 7th on the Bundesliga table, have excelled in front of their 47 000 rampant fans and have won over 66% of their encounters on home turf!

In fact, the Stuttgart team has claimed the honours in their past ten encounters, dating all the way back to March 2004. The four-time German Champions have manged to beat Werder Bremen 4 times, have shared the match three times and have lost out to the Bremen men on three occasions.

Although they failed to score against Borussia Dortmund, who won the encounter 3-0 and Bayer Leverkusen (2-0), they did get the better of both Karlsruhe and Hannover 96 and if 23 year old forward, Mario Gomez and his Romanian playmate, Ciprian Marcia, can find the form that has elevated them to the leading goal socrers, then a win is certainly on the cards.

Werder Bremen, however, can call on the scintillating flair of Peruvian genius, Claudi Pizarro and the dedicated hard work of Markus Rosenberg to level the playing fields and considering they are currently third on the Bundesliga table with 11 points, it would take a very brave man to discount a victory for the side that has won 50% of their encounters to date.

Online sports bookmaker, Betfair, is offering betting odds on all sorts of options including correct score, next goal and half time score. Current match odds are Stuttgart - 2.72, a Draw - 3.6 and Werder Bremen - 2.76.
