Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg are preparing a super-interesting game for us tonight. These two sides have mixed results in recent times, and they are in a pretty delicate situation. Werder needs to win in order to reach the 16th place in the standings, and a chance to stay in the league through playout. On the other side, the Wolves are seventh one point behind Hoffenheim, who occupies place no.6 and has one game more played.
Preview
Werder (+275) has 25 points, three fewer than Fortuna, who played 2-2 today with Hoffenheim. But the River Islanders also have a game in hand compared to the team from Dusseldorf. This would be one of the crucial matches of the season for this side, as they simply have to win and take the entire prey.
Otherwise, “staying in Bundesliga” mission would become almost impossible. After winning seven points in three events, Werder lost at home to Eintracht, 0-3, which was a massive setback for this side.
In three events before this one, they wouldn’t allow a single goal, but against Eintracht, their back line was completely demolished. The interesting thing is that Werder still didn’t win at home since the restart of Bundesliga. They lost against Bayer and Eintracht, and played a draw against Monch.
Wolfsburg (-105) lost against Eintracht in its last game also, and the same as Werder, they have two defeats at home. The other one was against Dortmund, while both away events ended in their favor, 1-2 in Augsburg, and 1-4 in Leverkusen, once they stopped Bayer’s fantastic streak.
Apart from the event against the Millionaires, others were with over 2.5 goals and both sides to score. Wolves are playing offensive and attractive soccer, with lots of chances and intensity.
With 42 points, they are behind Hoffenheim one step, but also with a game to play. It is important to jump back on the 6th position, because of the Europa League spot.

Head to Head Matches
The first match of the season finished with Wolfsburg losing at home, 2-3. in a spectacular game. Milot Rashinca scored twice for Werder. It was the sixth victory for the River Islanders in the last eight matches with the note that those two remaining fixtures concluded with draws. Wolfsburg’s previous win against this rival came in 2015.
Prediction
There wouldn’t be too much calculation, in this event, because three points is a mush for both sides. However, Werder tends to play tough defense and to slow down the pace of the game. Because of that, we don’t expect high efficiency in this event, but also, have to count on Wolfsburg’s attacking mentality.
Moderate efficiency would be our pick in this clash, ., Moneyline here is at +100, which us superb from our point of view.
