A Sports Betting Pick by Niko

Weserstadion – Bremen

Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen head into this match in a bad mood. They haven’t won in six Bundesliga games, and their struggles in front of goal have been most obvious — they have failed to score in their last three Bundesliga matches, including a 3‑0 loss to Borussia Dortmund midweek, where they were more active in the second half but still couldn’t find a breakthrough.
Their most recent home performance was a heavy 0‑4 defeat to VfB Stuttgart, though before that, they had put together a decent run at the Weserstadion with three wins in four home games.
The confidence at home might still be something Werder Bremen can lean on, but the persistent scoring drought is the real problem now — they need a spark going into this restart.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt’s league form is uneven but trending toward goals being involved. They extended their winless run to three with a 3‑2 loss at VfB Stuttgart last time out, and their main issue continues to be conceding too freely — averaging more than two goals allowed per match is a big reason they have slipped in the Bundesliga table.
On the road, Eintracht Frankfurt haven’t been convincing either: just one away win in their last six trips, and no wins in their last three Bundesliga away fixtures. While scoring hasn’t been a huge issue — Eintracht Frankfurt usually find the net — keeping clean sheets remains a huge problem.
The Betting Verdict
This really does feel like a meeting of two teams searching for balance. Werder Bremen are desperate to end their scoring drought, while Eintracht Frankfurt know they must tighten up at the back if they want to chase European places.
Eintracht Frankfurt have lost only once in their last seven duels against Werder Bremen, but last season Werder Bremen beat them 2-0 at home.
Eintracht Frankfurt is the better side overall, but I just don’t trust them at the moment. They are slipping, making errors, and their goalkeeper just cannot save his net.
Werder Bremen is also unconvincing. How can we back a side that has not won in six games and failed to score in each of the last three? Perhaps they will finally score here, but getting points is another matter.
Considering the shaky, rather poor form of both sides, I recommend going for goals rather than result here – back both teams to score at fair odds.
