Union Berlin - Werder Bremen predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.10, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

The matchup this Saturday is rather one-sided, with Werder Bremen seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.80, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Union Berlin’s previous Bundesliga match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Stuttgart . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 7.07. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 2:0 result before the end.

Werder are coming off from a narrow home loss in their previous match against Borussia Dortmund. The away team secured an early lead and carried it into a 1:2 triumph. Considering the 4.06 on Werder winning, though, it’s hard to be surprised.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

It’s highly unlikely that this match will end up with a score of 0:0. Team from Bremen, for instance, haven’t had a goalless match for 7 rounds now.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Werder Bremen once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Niklas Stark, Amos Pieper, Marco Friedl are the players that will be missing, which makes the Team from Bremen lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

Our prediction would be a fairly safe Home Win bet at the odds of 2.13. It’s obvious the hosts have a clear advantage going into this clash, and there’s plenty of reasons to feel confident in their success.
