Bayer Leverkusen vs Werder Bremen Prediction & Betting tips
Cup games are for fans as well as for players something special and a welcome change to the league. However, if your team is in a relegation battle, undergoing a form crisis and the tension is huge week by week, it’s hard to really look forward to the knockout duels in the cup. All the bigger were the stones that fell the Werder supporters, players and managers on the weekend. Due to the lucky last-minute victory at Schalke, the Green-Whites were able to leave the relegation places in the Bundesliga for the first time since Matchday 1 and then prepare somewhat calmed for the match in the DFB Cup quarter-finals in Leverkusen. The Werkself did not manage to beat 0-0 in Freiburg last weekend and suffered a slight setback in the fight for international places. It will be interesting to see if the guests from Bremen can use the momentum and provide a surprise for outsiders. At 19:45 pm, the encounter at the BayArena will start on Tuesday evening.
Bayer Leverkusen :
Bayer 04 Leverkusen are a bit bumpy in this Bundesliga season started with three away defeats in Munich, Mainz and Berlin at one go. But then the team has apparently understood the game idea of the new coach Heiko Herrlich and increased from week to week. To this day, only the second leg against the record champions was lost, otherwise the Werkself is harmless. The chance is great to move into the Champions League and a title win in the DFB Cup is still within reach. Werder should take the third last step for this.
In the league Bayer has already proven how to defeat the troop of the Weser. In the 1-0 they were, however, especially at the front too much, which is why the game at the end was unnecessarily exciting. The exploitation of chances also has one of the problems at the weekend, which is why it was enough in Freiburg only to a goalless draw. Nevertheless, Heiko Herrlich does not have to worry about his offensive. Especially at home is relying on his players and Leverkusen has so far accommodated in each home game at least once the ball in the opponent’s goal. If the performance of recent weeks is called, chances are good to move into the semi-final.
Werder Bremen:
Inverted World on the Weser – on the first three matchdays since the winter break, Werder Bremen has always brought many pat on the back and received praise from the opponents. In contrast, points remained rather scarce, as in the 2: 4 in Munich, the SVW did not go beyond good approaches. At the weekend Werder put Schalke on probably the weakest performance in 2018, but took at the end of the day but three points from Gelsenkirchen. Until the 75th minute, the guests were offensively hardly noticed. It was not until Nastasic’s sending off that changed.
Ralf Fährman’s goalkeeping mistake allowed Max Kruse to equalize and substitute captain Zlatko Junuzovic took advantage of extra time against Thilo Kehrer to score the winner. With this immensely important threesome the SVW was able to leave the relegation zone for the first time since Matchday 1. The journey to Leverkusen can now be tackled by coach Florian Kohfeldt’s team. Table 15 has to lose. not the Bundesliga and you can appear completely free. The experiences of the last years with away games in Leverkusen were almost exclusively positive for the Werder fans. With the exception of the first leg of the season, none of the last four appearances have been lost and there has always been cause to cheer for the green and white fan community. Whether this is the case on Tuesday?
