Werder Bremen vs SV Darmstadt 98

Werder Bremen’s 2-0 loss to FC Ingolstadt last Saturday left them still sitting in the play-off relegation spot in 16th place, 2 points clear of automatic relegation but 2 points behind safety. Bremen’s current 20 point haul is their lowest ever total after 22 matches in the Bundesliga.
Darmstadt 98 are doing reasonable enough for their first run in the Bundesliga in 33 years sitting 14th place in the league (4 points above Werder Bremen). Despite losing away to Bayern Munich last Saturday (which is nothing to be ashamed of), they still have one of the strongest away records in the league alongside Bayern Münich and Dortmund.

REASON FOR BETTING TIPS

Werder Bremen are without a win in 8 games at home – a club record – facing off against Darmstadt 98 who have one of the strongest away records in the Bundesliga this season. Bremen are also the only team who have failed to keep a clean sheet so far this season (if they fail to keep a clean sheet in this match they will level Borussia M’gladbach’s record of 23 games) and they have also lost every game played against newly-promoted teams this season. With a strong away form Darmstadt visiting an unconfident and struggling Bremen, our analysis suggests that Draw or Darmstadt seems a very safe bet with a Draw of 2-1 at 11/1 being a likely outcome at the final whistle.
