Stuttgart's Clinical Demolition: Bremen Left Defenseless in Weserstadion Rout
Worth Watching Futmetrix Score: 54/100. Stuttgart's 4-0 dismantling of Bremen stands as a statement of intent—a masterclass in controlled dominance that reshapes the Bundesliga's pecking order.
The Red Card That Ended the Contest
Bremen had a lifeline in the 23rd minute when Deniz Undav appeared to have broken the deadlock for Stuttgart, only for VAR to rule it out for offside. But mercy was short-lived. In the 59th minute, Karim Coulibaly of Werder Bremen received a straight red for roughing, and the match transformed into a one-sided affair. Down to ten men against Stuttgart's relentless intensity and 64% possession dominance, Bremen faced an impossible task.
Leweling Orchestrates the Onslaught
Jamie Leweling was the architect of Stuttgart's symphony of control. The midfielder scored once and assisted twice—a 9.3 rating that captures his complete mastery. His 40th-minute assist found Bilal El Khannouss for the opener. Four minutes later, Leweling doubled the lead after Finn Jeltsch's assist. In the 79th minute, he set up Undav for the third. Stuttgart's 23 shots to Bremen's nine told the story—complete balance had evaporated.
Nübel's Quiet Night Reflects Stuttgart's Control
Alexander Nübel needed just three saves, a reflection of Stuttgart's defensive suffocation. The 32 combined shots masked Bremen's impotence—only 14 on target yielded nothing. Christoph Fuhrich's 90+7 finish after Mittelstadt's assist sealed a 4-0 that leaves no room for interpretation. Stuttgart's intensity and precision execution proved too much for a Bremen side left in tatters.
Match Essentials
How did Coulibaly's red card reshape the match?
It was the pivotal moment. Ten-against-eleven, Bremen couldn't withstand Stuttgart's possession and pressing. The match became a coronation rather than a contest thereafter.
Why was Leweling the standout performer?
One goal, two assists, relentless presence. His 9.3 rating reflects a midfielder who orchestrated Stuttgart's attack and systematically dismantled Bremen's backline.
How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?
The Futmetrix Score (0-100) combines multiple factors: match intensity, competitive balance, stakes importance, and entertainment value to help you decide if this match is worth watching.
Undav's Goal Machine Arrives at Weserstadion
Worth Watching Futmetrix Score: 61/100. Stuttgart come as favourites, but with modest balance and limited stakes, this mid-table clash feels more functional than compelling—a sixth-place team chasing European spots against a struggling eleventh.
The Setup
Werder Bremen sits at 11th with 16 points—inconsistent enough to worry, stable enough to survive. VfB Stuttgart has climbed to sixth on 22 points but recent form reads LLDWL, a warning sign. The form gap is narrow, but Stuttgart's attacking stars shine brighter. This isn't a six-pointer; it's a three-pointer for Stuttgart's European ambitions and damage control for Bremen's midfield hopes.
Key Battle
Deniz Undav versus Mio Backhaus: Stuttgart's clinical finisher (6 goals in 5 matches) faces Bremen's defensive anchor. Undav thrives on space and quick transitions; Backhaus neutralises through positioning and physicality. Whoever controls this duel—attacker hunting or defender denying—sets the tone for 90 minutes.
Our Prediction
Stuttgart dominate possession early, Undav finds space between the lines, and Bremen's midfield can't generate enough pressure to disrupt. A second-half goal seals it. Stuttgart win 2-1—efficient rather than elegant, but the outcome reflects the quality gap.
Key Questions
Should I watch this match?
Only if Undav's goal-scoring form fascinates you. Otherwise, better options exist on the weekend.
What's the predicted outcome?
Stuttgart 2-1 Bremen. Undav scores; Bremen stay competitive but lack the finish.
Where are Bremen and Stuttgart in the league table?
Bremen 11th on 16 points. Stuttgart 6th on 22 points. Four places separate them; Stuttgart chasing Europe.
What is VfB Stuttgart's current form?
LLDWL—shaky. But 22 points from 13 matches keeps them on course for Champions League qualification.
Who is the in-form player to watch?
Deniz Undav: 6 goals in 5 matches, averaging 7.2 rating. Stuttgart's clinical finisher.
How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?
