Bochum vs Werder Bremen Predictions

• Three of Werder Bremen’s last four Bundesliga games have stayed under 2.5 goals
• Four of Werder Bremen’s last seven league games have been score draws
• No team has drawn more matches than Bochum’s seven this term

Strugglers face off

VfL Bochum and Werder Bremen are level on points and separated just by goal difference in the bottom half of the Bundesliga as it returns from its winter break this weekend.

The pair are six points off the relegation zone but with all three teams facing the drop on ten points, they will be looking over their shoulders.

Both teams picked up some decent results before the pause, with Werder unbeaten in their last three and Bochum winning two of their last four.

However their head-to-head record against teams around them could be crucial come the end of the season so there is plenty to play for in this matchup.

Stalemate likely

Bochum have made draws something of a habit this season and there may be little to separate these two teams again here. Four of Werder’s last seven have ended as a tie and despite Bochum’s home advantage, Werder are fancied to avoid defeat.

Three of the visitors’ last four in the league have gone under 2.5 goals and with Bochum netting just 18 in 16 matches, low for Bundesliga standards, this could be a cagey affair.

Correct score backers should keep a 1-1 draw on side in what may be a competitive occasion.
