Werder Bremen - Bayer Leverkusen predictions and free betting tips [25/11/2023]

Good day, dear friends! Tomorrow we will have Bundesliga matches which promise to bring us thrilling moments and outcomes. I want to discuss with you the 12th round game between Werder and Bayer. The match will take place at the Weserstadion . Let's look at the current form of the teams and try to decide what bet to make to increase our bankroll. Let's go!

Potential Line-ups

Werder: Zetterer; Veljković, Friedl, Jung; Weiser, Schmidt, Stadje, Bittencourt, Deman; Borré, Dhax.
Bayer: Gradecki; Kossounou, Tah, Tapsoba; Tella, Palacios, Djaka, Grimaldo; Hofmann, Bonifazi, Wirtz.

Werder

Last season the team finished in the 13th position. Now, Werder looks like a very-average team. They managed to extend their unbeaten streak to 3 games before going on the international break. However, they lost to Hansa (1:2) afterwards. As of now, the club is in 12th place, with 11 points in their account. Their last win in the Bundesliga (and overall) was against Union Berlin, last month. Then, the guys beat their opponents with a 2-goal advantage while playing at home. Werder ended the 11th round with a draw against Eintracht F (2:2). Although they opened the scoring with a penalty in the extra time of the 1st half, and then added another goal from Borré in the 50th minute, they couldn't hold onto the win. As for injuries, Christian Gross (calf), Nicolai Rapp (foot), Leon Opitz (ligaments), and Naby Keita (thigh) will miss tomorrow's game. 

Bayer

The previous campaign was finished by the team in the 6th position. This season, Bayer is showing incredible results. Along with Bayern, they have not yet suffered a single defeat in the Bundesliga. Currently, the club is in the leading 1st place in the standings, having earned themselves 31 points. Out of 11 games, they have 10 wins and 1 draw. They achieved their last victory against Union Berlin, scoring 4 unanswered goals, giving Union Berlin their 9th loss in the Bundesliga. If you consider European matches, they have gathered 12 wins to date. In these matches, they scored 38 goals and conceded just 9. Great performance! In mid-September, the club finished their away match against Bayern with a draw (2:2). Due to injuries, Jeremy Frimpong and Arthur will miss tomorrow's match. 

Head-to-Head

In the last 5 head-to-head matches, Bayer, always playing as a guest, achieved 3 wins and 2 games resulted in a draw. All Bayer's victories were with a clear advantage, except for the last one. On March 12th this year, they defeated Werder with a minimal margin (2:3).

Prediction

So, let's see what picture forms after the team reviews to make a decision about the finalized bet. Obviously, for the quite mediocre Werder, the match against the in-form Bayer will be a real letdown. The host's defensive gaps have been evident throughout this year's campaign, even at home. The guests show somewhat more modest results away, compared to their home matches. However, that’s not important. What matters is that their efforts bring fruitful gains in points. I believe that the facts about Werder's weak defence and Bayer's aggressive offense give us great clues to place a bet on Bayer's handicap (-1.5). I’m sure that the boys will emerge from the break with new energy and ambitions to display an excellent game.

Total Bet Prediction

Considering that Werder isn't shy to concede goals at home and Bayer is performing actively even on the opponent's territory, this match should also be rich in goals. So, it’s fairly safe to place a bet on total over 3 goals.
