Werder Bremen Preview: Jekyll and Hyde
It’s difficult to predict these days what sort of Werder Bremen you’ll see as each week passes. Whether it will be the Werder team who brushed pushed Holstein Kiel by three goals to nil last time out, or the Werder side who were beaten 2-4 by ten-man Borussia Monchengladbach the week before that.
As it stands, Werder are firmly stuck in mid-table with their season starting to peter out. Whilst European football remains a distant dream, it would take a significant winning run for them to make it.
Eintracht Frankfurt Preview: Back-to-back wins at right time
Just when Eintracht Frankfurt desperately needed it following a streak of three straight Bundesliga losses, they managed to reel off consecutive victories to keep themselves in third-place. A 1-3 triumph away at Bochum was backed up by a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Stuttgart last time out with Mario Gotze netting the only goal.
That win took Eintracht to 48 points, three above Mainz in fourth-place heading into this latest round of Bundesliga fixtures and most importantly, five points above fifth-placed Borussia Monchengladbach.

Whilst Eintracht Frankfurt may be without plenty of personnel ahead of this encounter, form is in their favour and they take on a team who have had their struggles at home over the course of the season. What is usually the case though when it comes to Werder Bremen is that we see goals. Seven of Werder’s last eight matches in all competitions has seen over 2.5 goals scored and it’s this outcome that has to be favoured here, regardless of the final outcome.
