Werder Bremen Preview: Sliding down the table

Three successive Bundesliga defeats have come at a bad time for Werder Bremen, who are dropping down the Bundesliga table as a result. However, their worst recent result came in the DFB-Pokal midweek as they were beaten 2-1 by third tier Arminia Bielefeld, denying them a place in the semi-finals.

Wolfsburg Preview: Draw specialists

Four of Wolfsburg’s last five Bundesliga fixtures have finished level and whilst that has helped them accumulate an unbeaten streak of five league games, it’s not helping them ascend up the table as fast as they would want. Like Werder, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side were also losers in the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals midweek, going down 1-0 to RB Leipzig.

Werder Bremen vs Wolfsburg Prediction

Confidence within the Werder Bremen camp, not to mention morale must be at rock bottom following their shock DFB-Pokal exit and it’s difficult not to see that having an impact on them in the Bundesliga, where they have already been struggling significantly over the past weeks to pick up positive results.

It would be no surprise to see the hosts’ losing run extended by Wolfsburg, but caution should be aired when taking into account that Hasenhuttl’s men are away from home and have struggled to turn draws into victories of late. Therefore, look to utilise the double chance market and back Wolfsburg to pick up at least a point, if not all three.
