Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen were on a really nice run before last week’s 2-0 away defeat to RB Leipzig - five games unbeaten (three wins, two draws) and looking much more settled than they did early in the season. Even in the loss last week, they weren’t blown away; RB Leipzig just punished the key moments.
At home, though, Werder Bremen have quietly built something impressive. The win over Wolfsburg (2–1) in the 10th round gave them three straight Bundesliga home victories, something they hadn’t managed in over six and a half years.
If they take all three points against Koln here, it would be their first run of four consecutive home league wins since early 2018, which tells you how rare this level of home consistency is for them.
Werder Bremen are playing confident, front-foot football in Bremen, feeding off the crowd, and generally looking more dangerous when they are in their own stadium.
Koln
Koln, on the other hand, arrive in a much tougher moment. They’ve lost three of their last four league matches, and the two most recent defeats were heavy - a 3-1 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach, and last week’s 3-4 home defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Koln can score, that hasn’t been their issue, but they are far too easy to break down.
All of Koln's last three Bundesliga matches have gone over 2.5 goals, and it feels like every game they are involved in turns into a bit of a shootout.
The defensive mistakes are piling up, and you don’t want to be giving away cheap chances in Bremen when Werder are in this kind of home rhythm.
Koln will fight, that’s their nature, but right now they are conceding too many goals to trust over 90 minutes.
The Betting Verdict
This feels like a good spot for Werder Bremen. They are strong at home, scoring with confidence, and Koln’s defensive vulnerabilities play straight into what Werder Bremen want - tempo, chances, and a bit of mess in the box.
Koln can absolutely score, so I wouldn’t rule them out completely, but over the full match, I trust Werder Bremen more.
My lean here is Werder Bremen to win, with goals involved. Something like 2-1 fits the profile of both teams’ recent trends.

Werder Bremen 2-1 Koln
