Both of these clubs have had their struggles but the past week or so has seen some improvement just at the right time. Werder Bremen start the game one from bottom in the table and host 12th placed Eintracht Frankfurt. Bremen are in the automatic relegation places but only two points behind the play-off place. Safety is only three points away and the weekend saw them get an important victory at out-of-form Schalke 04. That's allowed them to close the gap a bit as the four sides above them all lost their most recent fixtures. That was their second win in three games with the other drawn. They beat Freiburg and drew at home to Borussia Monchengladbach, so that's seven points from nine and all against sides currently in the top ten. Those two victories have doubled the number of league wins Bremen have had this season. Home form has been disappointing with just a single win in the league all season. That was back in September and before the draw with Monchengladbach, they had lost seven straight home league games conceding 19 goals. The fact Bremen have kept clean sheets in each of their last three league games is highly significant.

Eintracht Frankfurt are more used to chasing European glory than keeping out of relegation trouble. They are currently 12th but only five points ahead of the relegation play-off position and seven ahead of Bremen. They also had a good weekend getting a 2-1 win at sixth-placed Wolfsburg. That ended a run of just one point from six games and 21 goals conceded. They have just one clean sheet in their last nine league fixtures and away from home, Frankfurt had gone four without a win letting in 14 goals. Frankfurt have four points from their last two games but have still conceded four goals in the process. Bremen have home advantage and those three clean sheets behind them, place a double chance bet on them to win or draw this game.
