German Bundesliga
2008-05-17 - Bayer Leverkusen vs Werder Bremen
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Werder Bremen still cannot afford to rest on the last day of the season as they are battling with Schalke 04 for the right to finish second in the Bundesliga after Bayern Munich was crowned Champion a few weeks ago. A draw would be good enough for Werder Bremen to finish in second place and claim the Champions League automatic spot as they have a much better goal difference than Schalke 04.
Werder Bremen comes into this match in good form having lost just once in their previous eight games which was at home to second from bottom Duisburg and since that defeat they have recorded 6 wins and a draw. Their past four away games away from home can be described as magnificent as apart from the 3-3 high scoring draw with Karlsruher, they managed to beat the likes of Hertha Berlin, Hansa Rostock and also Hamburger in fifth spot
As for Bayer Leverkusen, they are battling with a few other teams who are all tied on 51 points for a place in the UEFA Cup. The likes of Hamburger, Wolfsburg and also Stuttgart are all vying for a spot in the UEFA Cup so it could go down to the wire for this last day!
But when you look at Bayer Leverkusen's form, especially in their last eight matches, they have been struggling, as they have managed just two wins, against fellow UEFA Cup hopeful Stuttgart winning 3-0 at home, which was their only home win in their past four home matches if I may add and apart from that their other win came against Hansa Rostock who were already relegated winning 2-1. Their last home match saw them get beaten by Hertha Berlin 2-1 even.
On form alone, Werder Bremen stands out to win this match and it is unlikely they will settle for a draw as it is too risky knowing that a defeat could mean finishing in third spot and having to go through the Champions League Qualifiers and starting the season much earlier than other teams.
Take Werder Bremen to win this match, but the best bet is Werder Bremen on level ball handicap as in the event if it ends in a draw, your stakes are returned to you.
Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
