Bayer Leverkusen vs Werder Bremen Betting Tips and Predictions

Bayer Leverkusen will be disappointed to lost both of their last 2 matches (3-1 loss away to Mainz and 1-0 loss at home to Borussia Dortmund) after their 6 games unbeated streak in the league. Leverkusen are 6th in the Bundesliga and they now have more defeats this season (eight) than the whole of their 2014/2015 Bundesliga season (seven). They are, however, only 1 point behind Borussia M’gladbach in 4th place and as such Leverkusen will see this home game against struggling 16th place Werder Bremen as a perfect opportunity to claim a top 4 place.

Werder Bremen scored an 89th minute goal to hold Darmstadt to a 2-2 draw in their match last Saturday. Bremen have taken 3 points from a possible 15 in their last 5 matches and because of this have slipped and remained in the play off relegation spot for a few weeks now. Their away form is generally better than their awful home form this season, but because of Werder’s inconsistency neither they nor the fans will be very hopeful for this fixture.

Bayer Leverkusen have averaged scoring 2 goals per game in the last 4 home games and have only conceded 1 goal in the same amount (including results of 3-0 against Hannover 96, a hugely impressive 5-0 win against Borussia M’gladbach and an equally strong 0-0 draw against Bayern Munich). Ex-Manchester United man Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez has been a wonder transfer for Bayer Leverkusen. He has scored 14 times in 19 Bundesliga games and 23 goals in 29 games across all competitions, expect him to make it onto the score sheet. Werder Bremen have generally struggled away against the teams that are stronger sides on paper “stronger sides” throughout the season. These are not just small losses either, it seems when Bremen are losing, they may lose heart (results include a loss of 5-1 away to Borussia M’gladbach just a few weeks ago and a 6-0 away thrashing from Wolsfburg last November). With Bayer Leverkusen having good form at home and desperate to get their campaign rolling again against a Werder Bremen side without a clean sheet sheet all season Bayer Leverkusen (-1) and Bayer Leverkusen to win 3-1 at 10/1 seem good value in this match.
