Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig Prediction

Werder Bremen Form

In their last three matches, Werder Bremen lost 1-0 against Hoffenheim, 0-2 against Borussia Dortmund and 4-1 against Freiburg. Werder Bremen only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Bundesliga matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew zero and lost four, as they scored seven and conceded ten goals.

RB Leipzig Form

The results have been up and down for RB Leipzig, who beat St. Pauli by 2-1. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 4-1 against Freiburg, before claiming a victory in a 3-0 game against Borussia Moenchengladbach. RB Leipzig won half their previous six away matches in the Bundesliga, as well as seeing zero draws and suffering three defeats. They scored nine goals whilst conceding 12.
