Genki Haraguchi is a starting eleven candidate at VfB Stuttgart
After his routine performance in the DFB Cup at SC Paderborn (2-1), VfB professional Genki Haraguchi can hope for a starting XI.
In addition, Silas could start again after suffering from a bruise on his shin.
Juan Perea would have to sit on the bench for that.
Meanwhile, Josha Vagnoman and Nikolas Nartey make up the left part of the back four.
Werder Bremen ended their negative series against VfL Wolfsburg
Werder Bremen started the season furiously, but had a slump at the beginning of 2023, which caused one or the other on the Weser to frown.
For example, they lost 7-1 against 1. FC Köln and SVW also lost 2-1 at home to Union Berlin.
Coach Ole Werner breathed a sigh of relief on the last matchday when Bremen showed in a 2-1 win against VfL Wolfsburg that they can still do it.
In terms of personnel, the coach has to do without Mitchell Weiser, who is suspended after his fifth yellow card.
In addition, Felix Agu (patellar tendon problems) and Romano Schmid (torn inner ligament) are in rehabilitation training.
VfB Stuttgart is under pressure to play against Werder Bremen
Stuttgart – VfB Stuttgart is deep in the relegation battle.
Under new coach Bruno Labbadia, the Swabians have not yet managed to win in the Bundesliga.
But the coach already has one competitive win on his credit side: VfB won the DFB Cup at SC Paderborn (2-1) and made it into the quarter-finals.
VfB sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth told our editorial team that he would like the team to gain self-confidence from this sense of achievement.
Before the 19th match day, Stuttgart was in 15th place, a whopping eight points behind the promoted team and tenth in the table from Bremen.
Against Werder, VfB, threatened with relegation, is under pressure.
The game kicks off on Sunday at 3.30 p.m. (DAZN) in the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
