On Saturday afternoon, Werder Bremen hosts Bochum at the Wohninvest-Weserstadion in the Bundesliga as the visitors look to secure their safety in the German top flight.
Werder looking to continue their unbeaten runOle Werner’s team is unbeaten in their last four Bundesliga games, having drawn their last two league games against Monchengladbach and last time out RB Leipzig.
The unbeaten run has kept Werder Bremen clear of the relegation zone. They head into the final gameweek of the Bundesliga season in 11th place in the table.
Their recent Bundesliga games have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings.
Werder's recent record in the Bundesliga is poor, with just one win in their previous six home games in the German top flight. A poor recent defensive record on home soil was a significant factor in their questionable home results, as they have conceded at least two goals in three of their last four games.
Bochum still in danger of relegationThe visitors go into this encounter in 14th place in the Bundesliga table, three points above the league's bottom three, with an inferior goal difference to the two teams directly below them.
A 5-0 home defeat against Bayer Leverkusen ended the visitors' two-game winning run in the German top flight. However, they have won just two of their last 11 Bundesliga outings.
Bochum’s recent league games have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven outings in the Bundesliga.
Their recent away record is poor in the German top flight. A 4-3 win at Union Berlin in their last away game in the Bundesliga ended a nine-match winless streak on their travels.
What am I backing?Werder’s recent form in the Bundesliga has improved lately, while Bochum has struggled. I am backing the boys from Bremen to continue their decent form in this encounter.
