Bayer Leverkusen vs Werder Bremen Predictions

Over 2.5 goals looks the best bet when Leverkusen host Werder Bremen at BayArena on Saturday.

Bayer Leverkusen are sixth in the Bundesliga, seven places above Werder Bremen, with the visitors 11 points adrift. Leverkusen have nine wins from their 17 games this season, while Werder Bremen have won four.

This is a difficult spell for Bayer Leverkusen, with four defeats in their last six Bundesliga games. Werder Bremen are also struggling, having won just one of their last nine matches.

Werder Bremen’s 3-3 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in their last Bundesliga game kept up the recent pattern of games with over 2.5 goals. They followed a dispiriting 3-0 defeat at the hands of Borussia Dortmund last week with this high-scoring stalemate.

There are usually goals in Werder Bremen’s games. Four of their last five Bundesliga matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.

Bayer Leverkusen are having defensive problems. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last nine Bundesliga games, including five of their last seven against Werder Bremen.

A 3-0 home win is the correct-score betting call. Werder Bremen have lost three of their last four Bundesliga away games, and five of their seven losses overall have been by three or more goals.
