THE PREDICTION

RB Leipzig are the only Bundesliga team with a 100 percent record at home this season and they will be expected to maintain that against a Werder Bremen side who are winless in seven and who have lost on each of their previous four visits to the Red Bull Arena. Leipzig have netted 14 goals in their five home league matches and were impressive in their 3-2 win at home to Manchester United in the Champions League in midweek. Bremen can pose a threat too, though – in fact, they have not failed to score in a Bundesliga away fixture since February. Expect a few goals in this clash, but most of them for the hosts.
