RB Leipzig - Werder Bremen predictions

RB Leipzig are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.34, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is straightforward. Given the strength of The Red Bulls and the fact that Werder Bremen are given 8.53 odds to win, it is easy to see that an Team from Bremen victory would be a shocking surprise.

The hosts will be trying their best to earn some points after the last round’s blunder. They lost a hard-fought lead in the first half and ended up having to settle for a 1:1 draw. That’s not a good look if you’re considered the favourite in an away game.

The away team failed to leverage the home-field advantage of their previous Bundesliga game and win the bout, finishing 2:2 after a drawn-out stalemate. A draw was indeed one of the more likely scenarios, but their home supporters were hoping that they would be able to snag 3 points.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

Our confidence that Werder Bremen will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

Team from Bremen and Leipzig tied several times this season, leaving us with inconclusive head-to-head stats. RB Leipzig are still considered more likely to come out on top this Saturday, though, so the home-field advantage might be enough to finally swing things in their favour.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Xaver Schlager, Christopher Lenz, Eljif Elmas. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Amos Pieper, Justin Njinmah, Skelly Alvero. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.33, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
