Werder will make it to the next round! Energie vs Werder Prediction
Energie Cottbus
One of the matches in the first round of the German Cup will take place on Monday at the stadium in Cottbus, where local Energie will face Werder. Here’s the match prediction from the Dailysports expert team.
Energie
The Lusatians were relegated from the 3. Bundesliga after a disappointing 2018/2019 season. Five years later, Energie Cottbus has secured promotion. Last year, Energie finished first in the Northeast Regional League, edging out their closest rivals, Greifswald, by three points.
Over the summer, Klaus-Dieter Wollitz's side played six friendly matches, but none of them were particularly impressive, especially considering the level of their opponents. The only noteworthy result was a 2-2 draw against Hertha. However, Energie has yet to earn a point in the first three rounds of the 3. Bundesliga. They lost their opening match at home to Arminia 1-2, followed by a 2-4 defeat against Dynamo Dresden.
Werder
The Bremen musicians spent last season in the Bundesliga, finishing ninth. Notably, Werder remained unbeaten in their final five official matches, securing three victories during that period. Despite this, the Green-Whites narrowly missed out on a European spot, losing out to Heidenheim on tiebreakers.
In preparation for the new season, Werder played several high-caliber friendlies, unlike their opponents. They defeated Coventry City 2-1, drew 2-2 with Sheffield Wednesday and 1-1 with Rennes. However, they also suffered defeats to the same Rennes and Lecce.
