Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig Prediction and Betting Tips

Two sides separated by just three points in the race for European football lock horns in the German Bundesliga as Werder Bremen take on RB Leipzig at the Weserstadion on Saturday. Zsolt Low’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in their last 11 games against the hosts and will be looking to extend this dominant six-year run.

Werder Bremen’s push for a top-six finish took a huge blow last weekend when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Union Berlin after throwing away a two-goal lead at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei.

Before that, Ole Werner’s side played out a somewhat disappointing goalless draw against 10-man St. Pauli on April 27, a result which saw their four-game winning streak come to an end.

Bremen have picked up 47 points from their 32 Bundesliga matches so far to sit eighth in the standings, three points and two places behind this weekend’s visitors in the Conference League qualifying spot.

As for Leipzig, Danish striker Yussuf Poulsen came up clutch for them last time out as he netted a 94th-minute equalizer to hand them a thrilling 3-3 draw against crowned champions Bayern Munich.

This followed a heavy 4-0 defeat at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt at the Deutsche Bank Park on April 26, which saw their three-game unbeaten run in the league come to an end.

While Leipzig will be looking to potentially move five points clear of seventh-placed Mainz, recent results away from home offer little optimism as they have failed to win 10 of their last 11 matches outside the Red Bull Arena.
