VfB Stuttgart vs Werder Bremen Betting Tips - BTTS

Stuttgart remains very much in a relegation dogfight, having collected just 16 points from 18 matches. Currently deadlocked with Bochum in the current relegation play-off spot, Stuttgart have now failed to win each of their last four league matches, although three of those games did come on the road at Leverkusen, Leipzig and Hoffenheim. VFB have taken just four points on their travels all season

Now back in their own arena, the hosts will be keen to build on a home record that has seen them win three and draw one of their previous Bundesliga games. However, those three victories did come before the winter shutdown. As a result, Stuttgart have not won a match since the 8th of November.

Werder are also struggling for form, having lost four of the previous five Bundesliga games, although a weekend win against Wolfsburg will certainly have boosted confidence ahead of this strip to the Mercedes-Benz-Arena.

Goals are usually to be expected in the Bundesliga, and this fixture looks like a solid choice for the BTTS market. VFB have seen both teams scoring in 13 of their previous 16 home league games over the past year, including each of the last four. That´s over 81% of all home Bundesliga matches in the past 12 months. 

Visiting Werder also have strong numbers in the BTTS market, having seen that outcome in six of their previous eight away league games. Werder only failed to score once on their travels this season at a previously in-form Freiburg, while they have managed to score two or more on four of eight away games.

The h2h record also suggests we can expect both teams to score with seven of 10 previous meetings, including four of the last five seeing the BTTS outcome. 

As such, we´re backing both to score in a fixture where picking a winner looks like an unenviable task.
