THE PREDICTION

Werder Bremen heading into the winter break on the back of a three-match winning run and will be expected to take that form into the second half of the season and mount a promotion push. Standing in their way here are Fortuna Dusseldorf, who in contrast have won just one of their last eight games in all competitions. When assessing the two squads, Werder Bremen boast the superior strength-in-depth among their squad, particularly when taking into account the numerous players Fortuna are without due to Covid-19. Clearly a strong squad for this level of football, Werder have started to show real signs of clicking and should carry on their renaissance with victory in this one.
