Werder Bremen vs VfB Stuttgart - Germany Bundesliga

.Werder Bremen vs VfB Stuttgart
Bundesliga : 14th round
Date : 27 November 2011
Stadium : Weserstadion, Bremen

Werder Bremen will host VfB Stuttgart at the Weserstadion for Round 14 of the German Bundesliga on Sunday afternoon. Ranked 5th and 6th both teams need a success to keep contact to the top positions. The loser instead will turn up in midfield of the Bundesliga.

Shocking defeat for Werder Bremen when got destroyed 0:5 in Mönchengladbach last Saturday. Once more Bremen's defence made several fatal mistakes, just did not act like a Bundesliga team again. It is difficult to say how the team will handle this disaster, but they have shown strong moral several times before. So Bremen turned a 0:1 deficit into a victory five times this season already. Also at home they are powerful, won five of six in the Weserstadion, just got defeated 0:2 by champion Dortmund. The knee injury of top striker Claudio Pizarro (11 goals) worries the club. He is the most important player and it is not sure if he can play on Sunday.

Ranked on the 6th position the VfB Stuttgart have already ten more points than at the same time last season. Just the last matches were not really convincing. Bottom team Augsburg was defeated 2:1 last Sunday, but it wasn't a great performance and in the three matches before they stayed without a victory. Stuttgart have one of the best defence lines in the Bundesliga, are quite hard to beat, just lost two of the last eight matches. Away from home they also do quite well (2-2-2), but apart of Mönchengladbach (1:1) they didn't had to travel to any of the top teams yet.
