Werder Bremen preview: Struggling Werder
Werder Bremen are in a relegation battle in the Bundesliga as they begin this weekend's round of fixtures sitting just four points outside of the bottom three and the danger zone in Germany's top-flight.
Werder went into the break on the back of a much-needed victory against fellow strugglers Wolfsburg at the Volkswagen Arena, courtesy of a 68th minute winner scored by versatile attacker Justin Njinmah.
RB Leipzig preview: Top four challenge
RB Leipzig managed to push themselves back into the top four just before the March international break as they seek a return back to the UEFA Champions League after a major overhaul last summer following a tough season last year.
That is because Leipzig hammered their direct rivals for a top four finish, Hoffenheim, by five goals to nil at the Red Bull Arena a couple of weeks ago with a Benjamin Henrichs strike as well as braces from Brajan Gruda and Christoph Baumgartner.

Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig prediction
Leipzig were in excellent and extremely efficient in that aforementioned annihilation of Hoffenheim. They remain inconsistent, though, and a fighting Werder will be expected to take the initiative here, especially with their home advantage, albeit the visitors do remain the firm favourites for this one this weekend.
