Werder Bremen vs Dusseldorf Prediction & Betting tips
The generation “laptop trainer” was a little critically appraised a few years ago. More and more young coaches stormed the league, led by the youngest coach ever, Julian Nagelsmann. Can the new training methods, the many modern techniques and data analysis actually be better than many years of experience and the tact of an experienced coach? Any doubts have now dissolved in the air and more and more clubs give a young coach the confidence.
One of them is Werder Bremen. There is Florian Kohfeldt, a man on the sidelines, who is younger than some of his players (Pizarro) and yet fully respected by his protégés. Kohfeldt has redefined the Werder route on the Weser and wants to take the next step after two successful years this season with the Green-Whites.
This would mean the qualification for the international business. For the league start, the North Germans meet a club in which the coaching staff is a blatant counterpart to the current development. Friedhelm Funkel has proven that a success is possible even with “old” methods and the classic football school.
So he has led the Fortuna in league 1 and last season held sovereign the class. Now he is facing the usually difficult second year after the climb and wants to make a good start.
The Werderaner are traded as a clear favorite, which is absolutely understandable. In the cup, the troop of the Easter dike showed a sovereign idea and unlike Dusseldorf had no trouble with the unterklassigen opponent. The club from the state capital of North Rhine-Westphalia had in extra time in Villingen to ensure the second round, Bremen won against the neighbor from Delmenhorst significantly with 6: 1.
So it is not surprising that between Bremen and Dusseldorf a prognosis in the direction of the homeowners is the logical consequence. The game starts on Saturday afternoon at 14:30.
Werder Bremen:
The season is still in its infancy and Werder Bremen have set a record. Never before have so many spectators been in the stadium in a cup match of the first round as in the match between SVW and Atlas Delmenhorst. The reason for this was the fact that the underdog from Delmenhorst is only 15 km away from Bremen and had to make it to the Weserstadion.
Werder was in their own living room the away team and the whole region was looking forward to this special derby, which was then sold out quickly. Purely athletic, the hurdle was no problem for the Bundesliga club. With 6: 1, the team of Florian Kohfeldt lived up to their role as favorite and did the duty very seriously and safely.
After the casual Aufgalopp is on Saturday, the first endurance test on the program. In contrast to the previous season, when Werder at the start only a 1-1 draw at home against the later relegated Hannover, this time is a threesome ago to establish themselves directly in the front third of the table. The target Europe, which was missed very thinly in the preseason, is clearly defined.
No wonder, after all the team under Kohfeldt has developed a continuously positive development and in the summer almost all top performers could be kept in the squad. Only the departure of captain Max Kruse hurts. But early on it was clear that he would leave the club, which is why the responsible people had enough time to respond.
Yuya Osako is to play the role of the game designer in the eyes of the coach and has done quite well in the test matches as well as in the cup. Overall, Kohfeldt just offensively spoiled for choice. On the outside lane only Milot Rashica seems to be set.
Johannes Eggestein, the still injured Fin Bartels, Martin Harnik, Josh Sargent, new signing Niklas Füllkrug, Claudio Pizarro and several other players are fighting for the regular places. In the central office is the duel in the absence of the still injured Philipp Bargfrede: Kevin Möhwald vs.. Nuri Sahin, the latter having the lead after a good preparation.
The problematic part of the team is the defense, because there Werder has a few major staff worries. Milos Veljkovic and Sebastian Langkamp fail in the medium term, which is why manager Frank Baumann became active in the transfer market. Ömer Toprak from BVB does not represent an emergency solution, but should also revitalize competition if the regular employees are fit again.
In the cup Christian Gross had to help out from the second team in central defense next to captain Niklas Moisander. Although he has done his job very well, he will only take on Fortuna against the bench. Marco Friedl would be an alternative if on the left wing Ludwig Augustinsson is operational again.
The squad is all in all well placed, the team recorded, the mood on the Weser good. If the start into the new season is successful, then there is nothing to stop the good times in the Hanseatic city.
Bremen, against Dusseldorf, this prognosis dared to get the first three, when the home side of their existing potential to fully exploit. Qualitatively, the hosts certainly have advantages.
Dusseldorf:
Actually, Friedhelm Funkel had already announced his retirement after the end of last season. But his last stop as head coach in professional football was eventually extended by at least a year. It just fits too well between him and the Fortuna. After the rise two years ago Dusseldorf was traded last season as relegation candidate number 1. However, the club from NRW did not have much to do with the relegation battle.
The league achieved especially thanks to an incredibly strong second half early and a place in the midfield was rightly celebrated as a great success. So now it’s time for the infamous second difficult year.
Again many experts see the Fortuna far down in the table, which is purely based on the budget and the financial possibilities. Only the two climbers Paderborn and Union Berlin have an even lower market value.
The main task on the transfer market was to keep as many players as possible and to reinforce them selectively. With Thomas Pledl, Kelvin Ofori and King transfer Nana Ampomah, who comes from Waasland-Beveren from Belgium for four million euros, this has also succeeded. Also Markus Suttner was taken after expired loan firmly under contract.
Of course, all players could not be kept and so must be coped with the departure of two top strikers. Marvin Ducksch has moved to Hanover and Dodi Lukebakio’s lending has expired. He has subsequently decided to change to Hertha from Berlin and thus remains the Bundesliga.
Benito Raman, who switched to FC Schalke 04 for a double-digit million amount, flushed the money into the cash register. Again and again there are rumors about the personality Kaan Ayhan. But the central defender should and must remain as a defensive support actually, otherwise the squad is so slow, but certainly dangerous sparse.
Despite all the departures remains the Fortuna fans yes a joker: Friedhelm Funkel. The coach-oldie will fix it again and put together a powerful squad, which is fully on the first matchday. In the cup, the performance at Villingen can be labeled as a classic work victory.
The two newcomers, Ampomah and Ofori, went straight into the scoresheet. With Rouwen Hennings made an old friend with the 3: 1 in extra time, the lid on the game.
The official opening match has been successful, but in Bremen waiting for Dusseldorf, this forecast can be made, a much more difficult challenge.
