Bayer Leverkusen vs Werder Bremen Preview and Team News
Bayer Leverkusen Team News
Although Bayer Leverkusen are second after winning the Bundesliga last season, Xabi Alonso’s team remains a delight to watch. They have only lost three matches across that tournament and Champions League combined this season.
The club have become synonymous with flexibility. Despite being famous for high-attacking football, they are more than happy to leave space and counter. They are adaptable to different situations.

Leverkusen continue to be a high-scoring side, with Florian Wirtz leading the attack. He has been linked with Bayern Munich, who’ve expressed clear interest in the German forward. He’s partnered up well with Patrik Schick and Aleix García, with the Spaniard delivering key passes for Wirtz in the final third.
Bayer won a crucial game against third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend, with four different scorers in their 4-1 victory.

Robert Andrich may miss the match due to illness after coach Alonso confirmed he has the flu. Edmond Tapsoba, Jeanuël Belocian, and Marin Terrier will be sidelined with injuries.
Bayer Leverkusen predicted line-up vs Werder Bremen (3-4-3): Hradecky; Hermoso, Tah, Mukiele; Grimaldo, Xhaka, Garcia, Frimpong; Tella, Schick, Wirtz.
Werder Bremen Team News
Werder Bremen suffered their fifth consecutive defeat, losing 2-1 to Wolfsburg. Although they created enough chances to overturn the deficit, players like Senne Lynen were too wasteful in front of goal. Despite being a defensive midfielder, Lynen had a high-quality chance that could have secured a victory for his squad.
He’s been a significant factor behind the team’s success in the first half of the season, complementing the movements of midfielder interior Jens Stage. However, coach Ole Werner refused to blame Lynen for the defeat, arguing that ‘our second balls are more worrying than our shots’.

Bremen’s journey in the DFB-Pokal was brutally ended by Bielefeld (2-1), a second division club. The side dominated most of the match, but an own goal and a lapse in concentration before halftime allowed them to take the lead.
Justin Njinmah, Marco Grüll, Patrice Čović, Romano Schmid, and Skelly Alvero are ill and may miss Saturday’s clash, depending on their recovery. Marco Friedl, Marvin Ducksch, and Niklas Stark remain sidelined due to injuries.
Werder Bremen predicted line-up vs Bayer Leverkusen (3-5-2): Zetterer; Veljković, Jung, Pieper; Agu, Bittencourt, Lynen, Stage, Weiser; Silva, Burke.
Bet hereBayer Leverkusen vs Werder Bremen Prediction
- Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen to win
- Odds: 1.21 (22Bet)
- Score Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 Werder Bremen
The hosts are among the highest-scoring teams in the Bundesliga, with 55 goals in 24 events and a +27 goal difference.
They’ll face Bayern Munich a few days before playing Bremen, but given their form, they’re still expected to win the weekend encounter. Having lost only one fixture this season, they’ve proven themselves one of the best sides in Germany and Europe.

Furthermore, Bayer remain one of the most adaptable squads, happy to switch game plans if needed. To make matters worse for Bremen, up to seven of their players could miss the match due to illness. This strengthens the home team’s chances of victory at the BayArena.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Werder Bremen Betting Tip
- Pick: Florian Wirtz to score
- Odds: 2.5 (22Bet)
While Patrik Schick’s contributions this season should not be overlooked, Florian Wirtz remains Leverkusen’s most important creative force. He’s often been mentioned as one of Germany’s finest talents, leading his club to the title last season after returning from a year-long injury absence.
Given that Bremen also play with a back three, this fixture could provide the ideal setup for Wirtz to score.
