STUTTGART, Germany (Interstat) — Stuttgart will host Werder Bremen on Sunday in a Bundesliga clash that pits a team with two recent shutout victories over its opponent against statistical projections giving the visitors an edge.

The matchup, which kicks off Sunday, April 26, 2026, presents a study in contrasts. Stuttgart has dominated the season series, winning both previous meetings this year by a combined 6-0. The home side posted a 2-0 victory on Jan. 9 and a 4-0 win on Dec. 14, 2025. However, a simulation by Interstat’s game projector forecasts a 2-1 win for Werder Bremen, while the same firm’s ELO system gives Stuttgart a 78 percent probability of victory.

Stuttgart enters the fixture coming off a 4-2 loss at Bayern Munich on April 19. That defeat followed a 2-2 draw at Erzgebirge Aue on the same date and a 4-0 win over Hamburger SV II on April 12. The team has shown inconsistency, with its results ranging from a 5-2 win at Augsburg on March 22 to a 2-0 loss at Borussia Dortmund on April 4.

Werder Bremen carries momentum from a 3-1 win at Hamburger SV II on April 18. That victory snapped a three-game losing streak that included a 3-1 loss at 1. FC Koln on April 12, a 2-1 defeat at home to RB Leipzig on April 4, and a 2-0 loss to Mainz 05 II on March 15. Bremen’s season has been erratic, but the team has shown resilience, including a 4-1 win at Union Berlin on March 8 and a 2-0 blanking of Heidenheim on Feb. 28.

Both teams face busy schedules ahead. Stuttgart has a doubleheader Sunday with a home match against Meppen 1912 II and a road game at Havelse. The club then faces a packed slate through May 16, including league matches against Hoffenheim, Bochum, Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt. Werder Bremen’s next three Bundesliga opponents are Augsburg on May 2, Hoffenheim on May 9 and Borussia Dortmund on May 16.
