Werder Bremen vs Wolfsburg

Out-of-sorts Werder Bremen and high-flying Wolfsburg will square off at the Weserstadion in an exciting Bundesliga encounter.

Despite taking an early lead against Union Berlin in midweek Bundesliga action, Werder Bremen failed to recover from a humiliating 7-1 defeat at Koln in their 2023 top-flight curtain-raiser, succumbing to a 2-1 home loss. Having lost four consecutive Bundesliga matches for the first time under Ole Werner, the hosts will be out to steady the ship and arrest an equally frustrating four-game winless league run against Wolfsburg (D1, L3). Connoisseurs of action-packed football will look forward to this encounter, considering Werder’s last three Bundesliga clashes against Wolfsburg have featured over 2.5 goals and both teams on the scoresheet, averaging five goals per match. Topically, Werder’s last three home league outings have yielded an identical 2-1 scoreline (W1, L2), highlighting the potential for a high-scoring contest.

On the other hand, visiting Wolfsburg dismantled relegation-battling Hertha Berlin 5-0 on the road in midweek Bundesliga action, extending their jaw-dropping unbeaten league streak to ten matches (W7, D3). More importantly, Niko Kovac’s men have won their last six Bundesliga outings in a row for the first time since 2014, while the abovementioned demolition of Hertha equalled the club’s biggest win on their travels in the Bundesliga. ‘Die Wolfe’ have been too hot to handle in the attacking third lately, netting at least two goals in eight consecutive top-flight matches in the lead-up to this trip and could make it nine on the trot for the first time in history. Equally impressive at the back, they’ve kept five clean sheets in their last six Bundesliga games!
