SV Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Betting tips
Werder Bremen and RB Leipzig are responsible for the Saturday night match of the Bundesliga. Leipzig is in top form and will also want to play Bremen to a defeat.
Werder Bremen:
Werder Bremen recovered very well in the past two rounds from a weak competition start. Twice the victory was hard-fought, but the six points that Die Hanseaten left to these duels have arrived. Last week Werder won a visit to Union Berlin. Davy Klaassen scored a penalty in the first half. After the break, the Dutchman missed from eleven meters, but Niclas Füllkrug scored the winning 1-2 in the aftermath.
The fact that Bremen is now on six points is particularly welcome, as a heavy series is coming for the North Germans. Meetings with Borussia Dortmund (from) and Eintracht Frankfurt (from) await after the match against Leipzig. What doesn’t make the case any easier is that Bremen is currently struggling with an injury wave. Trainer Florian Kohfeldt could almost set up a whole team with the players in the infirmary.
RB Leipzig:
RB Leipzig is in the middle of a busy program. Last Saturday Die Roten Bullen played the top game against Bayern Munich (1-1), and on Tuesday the team from Saxony came into action in the Champions League. The tricky away match at Benfica was won. It remained 0-0 in Lisbon for a long time, until Timo Werner confirmed his status as top striker. With a Doppelpack he gave Leipzig a 0-2 lead. Benfica came back, but Leipzig won the game well earned (1-2).
The team of trainer Julian Nagelsmann will want to continue the success of Tuesday Saturday in their own country, thus reinforcing the title ambitions. At his previous club TSG Hoffenheim, Nagelsmann generally rotated in full swing in his starting line-up. There are also opportunities for this in Leipzig. For example, Dayot Upamecano could start in the base and one of the two strikers could get a rest.
