Werder Bremen
Bochum
One of the matches of the 30th round of the German championship will be played on Saturday at the Weserstadion, where the local Werder will host Bochum. I suggest betting on goals in this match with good winning chances.
Match preview
The Bremen team continues to gain momentum – in the last round, they secured a valuable away victory over Stuttgart (2-1), marking their third consecutive victory. This matches their longest winning streak in the current Bundesliga season. Moreover, Werder consistently delights fans with attacking play – the team has scored at least twice in five consecutive rounds.
This successful run has allowed Ole Werner's men to climb to 9th place in the table and get close to the European competition zone – only three points away. However, their home performances raise questions: in the last seven matches at the Weserstadion, the "musicians" won only twice, lost four times, and drew once.
Bochum continues to struggle at the bottom of the table – in the last round, the team lost at home to Augsburg (1-2), extending their losing streak in the championship to four matches. Despite this, Dieter Hecking's side managed to score in three of these games, but poor finishing and a problematic defense prevent them from earning points.
The club faces serious attacking difficulties: only 29 goals scored – fewer only by Union (26) and St. Pauli (25). Unsurprisingly, Bochum is settled in the penultimate, 17th place, and is already 9 points away from the safety zone. Their away form also leaves much to be desired – only one victory in the last 15 championship matches, and even that was a long time ago.
Probable lineups
- Werder: Michael Zetterer – Mitchell Weiser, Amos Pieper, Marco Friedl, Niklas Stark – Senne Lynen, Romano Schmid, Jens Stage, Felix Agu – Marvin Ducksch, Oliver Burke
