Monday’s Bundesliga match sees relegation strugglers Werder Bremen taking on title outsiders Bayer Leverkusen.
Struggling Bremen
Werder Bremen have had a dreadful season so far with just four wins and 18 points on the table. Escaping the drop from this position will be a difficult task for a team that have been in the Bundesliga since the 1981-82 season. A home win here is a must, and you can get odds of 7/2 for a Werder Bremen win.
Under the radar
Bayer Leverkusen have been quietly going about their business in the Bundesliga this season and are only two points behind the Champions League places and eight points behind Bayern Munich at the top. A Bayer Leverkusen win is currently at 8/11.
Match preview
Bremen managed a 2-2 draw at Leverkusen in their previous match although they were thrashed 2-6 the last time both teams met at the Weserstadion. You can get odds of 85/40 if you think Bayer Leverkusen will score over 2.5 goals again.
Werder Bremen have the worst defence and joint-worst attack in the league at the moment, so there’s very little cause for optimism at the moment. The break in the season could well benefit them more than any other team; they have to go on a winning streak if they want to get out of the relegation zone.
