Werder Bremen Preview
After 17 games, Werder Bremen is closer to the relegation places and far from the places that give them a place in European competitions. Ole Werner’s side have lost four in a row and six in their last eight games, a performance that has them in 11th place in the standings with 21 points, five points ahead of Bochum in the final relegation spot.
Werder Bremen’s main problem is their defense, which is third in conceding most goals in the championship with 36 goals and has allowed nine goals to their opponents in their last two games following their return from the World Cup.
In addition, the green-and-whites have also failed to perform at home. They are the fifth-worst club playing at home this campaign with only 10 points in nine games and have the third-highest number of goals conceded at home with 15.
Probable lineup (3-3-2-2): Jivi Pavlenka; Amos Pieper, Niklas Stark, Marco Friedl; Mitchell Weiser, Ilia Gruev, Anthony Jung; Leonardo Bittencourt, Niklas Schmidt; Niclas Füllkrug, Marvin Ducksch
Wolfsburg Preview
Wolfsburg’s reality is completely different from that of their opponents, as they have won six consecutive games and have not lost in 10 matches.
Thanks to this good performance, the Wolves have gradually climbed up the table and are now in seventh place with 29 points, just two behind Freiburg in sixth place and seven behind leaders Bayern Munich.
One of the keys to Niko Kovač’s team’s resurgence is that they are the second team in defensive efficiency in the championship with just 20 goals and fourth in goals scored with 35 – 11 of them in the last two rounds.
In addition, Wolfsburg is the third-best team in the Bundesliga when playing away. After nine games played, they have 14 points and have not lost in their last five away games after losing three of their first four games of the campaign.
Probable lineup (4-5-1): Koen Casteels, Ridle Baku, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Maxence Lacroix, Mickey van de Ven; Patrick Wimmer, Mattias Svanberg, Maximilian Arnold, Yannick Gerhardt, Jakub Kaminski; Jonas Wind.
JefeBet Prediction
While the history between these two teams slightly favors Werder Bremen, Wolfsburg has the better moment and everything points to them taking advantage of it next Saturday.
The Lobos come in with an unbeatable performance and will face a very defensively decimated home team. In their last two games, Werder Bremen conceded nine goals and Wolfsburg scored 11.
The visitors are also one of the best away teams this year and have gone four consecutive matches without defeat against Werder Bremen, winning three and drawing one.
Prediction: Wolfsburg to win (BRE 1 – WOL 2).
