Ninth-placed Stuttgart risk falling behind in the race for European football in the Bundesliga if they lose against visitors Werder Bremen at MHPArena on Sunday.
The hosts come into the clash off the back of a 4-0 victory against VfL Bochum on April 5 and have 40 points, while the Green-Whites emerged as 2-0 winners against Eintracht Frankfurt last Saturday and are in 10th place with 39 points.
We say: Stuttgart 2-1 Werder Bremen
Both sides can be expected to find the back of the net at least once given their form has improved in the past weeks.
Stuttgart will almost certainly have to win if they are to avoid dropping out of the race for European football, and backed by their home crowd, they could get the better of Werder Bremen.

In a crucial clash that could impact the race for Champions League football and survival in the Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt will host Heidenheim at Deutsche Bank Park on Sunday.
The Eagles were beaten 2-0 by Werder Bremen on April 5 but are still in third place with 48 points, while Heidenheim are in the 16th-placed relegation playoff spot with 22 points and lost 1-0 against Bayer Leverkusen last Saturday.
We say: Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1 Heidenheim
Eintracht Frankfurt could come into the clash against the visitors physically drained having played against Tottenham in the Europa League.
Heidenheim have rediscovered defensive stability at the back, and it would not be surprising if they limited the Eagles to few chances on Sunday.
