Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig Preview and Team News

Werder Bremen Team News

Despite being 0-2 up against Union Berlin in the last round, Werder failed to secure a victory and were held to a 2-2 draw. Jens Stage’s first-half brace was not enough to claim a win, and the visitors lost important points.

The unbeaten run for the hosts stretches to six matches, and they’re only three points behind sixth place. At the start of the season, it was difficult to imagine, but now Werder Bremen are one of the major contenders for the European competitions.

Niklas Stark was booked against Union and will be suspended for the upcoming fixture. Among other absentees, only Miloš Veljković will not feature due to a calf injury. 

Werder Bremen predicted lineup vs RB Leipzig

Werder Bremen predicted lineup vs RB Leipzig (3-3-2-2): Zetterer; Pieper, Friedl, Jung; Agu, Lynen, Weiser; Schmid, Stage; Ducksch, Burke.

RB Leipzig Team News

Similar to Werder Bremen, Leipzig started strongly against Bayern and were even leading 2-0 in the first half. However, a loss of concentration in the second quickly turned the situation upside down. It was Yussuf Poulsen’s last-minute equaliser that saved the day for the RB club(3-3).

The whole 2024/25 campaign has been a rollercoaster for Leipzig, who are now on a three-game winless streak. With 50 points, they’re close to fourth place, but given Dortmund’s uprising, they’ll have a hard time finishing in the top four. 

David Raum and Kevin Kampl were both booked in the previous match and will not take part against Werder. Also, Willi Orbán, El Chadaille Bitshiabu, Benjamin Henrichs, Peter Gulacsi, and Xaver Schlager are out.

RB Leipzig predicted lineup vs Werder Bremen

RB Leipzig predicted lineup vs Werder Bremen (4-4-2): Vandervoordt; Nedeljkovic, Klostermann, Lukeba, Geertruida; Haidara, Vermeeren, Seiwald, Simons; Sesko, Openda. 

Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig Prediction 

• Pick: Leipzig or Draw
• Odds: 1.63 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Werder Bremen 2-2 RB Leipzig

The guests enjoyed super H2H stats against Werder in recent years. To illustrate, in their last 10 official meetings, Leipzig won seven and drew three. The last time their rivals beat them was in 2019.

Even though the hosts are doing well lately and Leipzig have been inconsistent, we cannot write them off. They were far better than Bayern, and it was only a minute of losing focus when they conceded goals.

Werder have frailties in the defence, and we don’t think they’ll dominate on Saturday. Instead, the visitors will have a slight advantage and could at least grab a point. Thus, we suggest picking Leipzig or draw. 

Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Both Teams to Score
• Odds: 1.45 (22Bet)

If we rule out the bottom four clubs in the Bundesliga, Werder Bremen have conceded the most goals in the remaining sides (56). Their defenders allow too many chances in the penalty area. Against Leipzig, who have Benjamin Sesko, Xavi Simons, and Lois Openda, we don’t think they’ll keep a clean sheet.

The guests cannot boast a perfect defensive score either. The last time they didn’t concede a goal was on March 15. Given the absence of key centre-backs, Bremen have massive chances of upsetting their rivals.

It’s likely going to be a high-scoring affair with an exchange of dangerous moments. Therefore, we would recommend picking both teams to score.
