On Saturday afternoon, Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg clash at the Weserstadion in the Bundesliga.
Werder looking to end their winless runThe home team have failed to win in their previous four games in the Bundesliga. A 2-1 defeat at Union Berlin last time out was their third straight defeat.
The poor recent run of form in the Bundesliga has left them in the limbo of 10th place in the standings, ten points adrift of the European spots and 11 points clear of the league’s bottom three.
Werder has struggled defensively recently, having conceded at least two goals in four of their previous six Bundesliga games.
Ole Werner’s team has a poor recent home record in the German top flight, having won just one of their last five games on home soil and failing to win in the previous three home Bundesliga games.
Bremen’s recent home games in the league have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight matches.
Wolfsburg poor form saw Niko Kovac’s exitThe visitors head into this clash on the back of an 11-game winless run in the Bundesliga, having suffered three straight defeats against Stuttgart, Bayer Leverkusen and Augsburg.
Wolfsburg’s struggles have seen them drop to 14th place in the table, six points clear of the Bundesliga’s bottom three.
The recent woeful run of league form saw the exit of head coach Niko Kovac, who has been replaced by former Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl.
One of the first issues that the Austrian needs to address is in defence, as the Wolves have conceded at least two goals in their last four matches in the German top-flight.
Wolfsburg’s recent away form has been poor, too, as the visitors have failed to win in their previous five Bundesliga games on their travels.
What am I backing?Neither team has been in great form, and I can see this being a close encounter. The bet I am backing is the draw.
