Recent form · Written before the match

Stuttgart lost 3-2 to Mönchengladbach on October 23, 1-0 at Hamburg on October 17, won 2-0 at Paderborn on October 10, lost 1-0 to Dortmund on September 19, and 2-1 at Hoffenheim on September 12. On October 28, Stuttgart won 1-0 at Paderborn in the DFB-Pokal after experiencing initial difficulties; the match report indicates 19 shots to 17 and 63,3% possession.

These results do not necessarily constitute their last five matches in all competitions. The cache reports a 3-2 win for Werder at Mainz on October 24, 2-2 draws against Paderborn and at Dortmund, a 3-2 win against Augsburg, and a 1-1 draw at Cologne; this archive is partial and does not allow a complete current run to be established.

The standings after seven matchdays place Werder 6th with 12 points, 15 goals scored and 14 conceded, and Stuttgart 15th with 6 points, 10 goals scored and 13 conceded.

Head-to-head · Written before the match

No recent head-to-head encounter is mentioned in the pages consulted. It is therefore not possible to provide a date, season, or score for a recent matchup here.

The prédictive relevance of previous encounters has not been established, particularly without verified information on the continuity of the squads and coaches.

Absences and returns

Angelo Stiller has been confirmed unavailable since 29 October with an adductor injury; Leo Sauer is also absent with a gluteal muscle injury. Stiller had started the previous twelve official matches of the season and was replaced at halftime against Paderborn by Atakan Karazor.

Luca Jaquez returned after a long absence. Stuttgart’s other absences and suspensions, as well as Werder’s absences, suspensions and goalkeeper, have not been confirmed.

Context & news

Stuttgart can benefit from home advantage, settled attacks and runs in behind, as in the move that led to the goal against Paderborn; better territorial control could pin Werder back. Conversely, the loss of Stiller could disrupt the build-up, while Werder could exploit transitions after winning the ball, in the context of a start to the season with 12 points and a 3-2 victory in Mainz.

The opposite scenario depends heavily on fatigue and rotation after the Leverkusen and Galatasaray matches, still unknown as of the cutoff date. No specific advantage in pressing, width, set pieces or box defending is sufficiently documented.
