Werder Bremen vs Wolfsburg Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 30/03/2024, 01:54  by Daniel Ngulu in Bundesliga Predictions

Werder Bremen will return to Bundesliga action after the international break, with a home game against Wolfsburg. Sitting four places apart and separated by five points, both teams will hope to bounce back after recent poor runs. Werder Bremen are 10th with 30 points and seem to be coasting to a mid table finish. They are 10 points below the European slots and 11 ahead of the relegation playoff spot. The two-week international break was key for Werder to reflect on the season so far and they toured Hannover for a friendly match. There was no reprieve there too, as Werder Bremen fell 2-1 at Hannover 96. Returning to league action, they will be seeking a first win in five matches. They've lost each of their last three league matches, the most recent a 2-1 defeat away to Union Berlin. While they aren’t at their best, Werder Bremen rarely fail to score in the league. They’ve netted at least a goal in each of their last 13 league matches. Their run of form means in most of the matches, both teams have gotten on the score sheet. They have just two clean sheets in the last 12 league matches.

Like Werder Bremen, Wolfsburg aren’t having a great season, after managing just 25 points in 26 league games. Their points tally place them six points above the relegation playoff position and they can’t afford many slip-ups now. The international break came at a good time for them, needing to wheel off and strategize for the final eight games. Before the break they had just lost 3-1 at home to Augsburg. It wasn’t their ideal outing as Patrick Wimmer opened the scoring early but was sent off in the first half. Wimmer became the second Wolfsburg player to see red in as many matches and Niko Kovac will call for a more disciplined approach here. In the reverse fixture, it was Maxence Lacroix who saw red as Wolfsburg lost the lead to draw 2-2. Their latest defeat was not only their third straight, they’ve now failed to win any of their last 11 league games. Wolfsburg have lost half of their last 14 league matches, and won just once in that run. They are still in search of their third away league win of the season and a first win in four against Werder Bremen.
