German Bundesliga
2007-05-12 - Werder Bremen vs Eintracht Frankfurt
A Sports Betting Pick by Simon Noble
There are now just two fixtures remaining in this season’s German Bundelisga, but three sides still have realistic hopes of glory.Schalke lead Stuttgart by a single point, with Werder Bremen only a further point behind in third. Each side has one home and one away game remaining, so matters couldn’t be more finely balanced.
Werder Looking to Make Home Advantage Tell
Werder Bremen bounced back from the disappointment of their UEFA Cup semi-final defeat by recording a confidence boosting 4-1 victory away to Hertha Berlin.As the only one of the top three sides playing at home on Saturday, territorial advantage could easily catapult Thomas Schaaf’s side to the top of the Bundesliga with just one fixture to follow.
Eintracht Frankfurt are the side visiting the Weserstadion looking to stop Diego, Klose and co, and given their motivation to avoid relegation, they shouldn’t be dismissed lightly.
The Eagles are four points above Aleminia Aaachen and the drop-zone, so with two games remaining aren’t safe. However, it was Aachen that they thumped 4-0 last weekend, turning around a poor run of form for Eintracht.
Prior to that crucial win they had conceded 14 goals from five fixtures.
THE STATS
HOME / AWAY FORM
Werder Bremen 11-1-4 32:16 /// Frankfurt 3-8-5 23:27
LAST 10 FORM

THE VERDICT
Werder Bremen have won their last four home games and have a tendancy to win by a comfortable margin at home (8 wins of 11 have been by 2+ goals).
I take Bremen to repeat that here.
