Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen are in deep trouble heading into this one. The 2-1 defeat away to St.Pauli last week was a damaging result in what was effectively a relegation six-pointer, and it stretched their winless run in the Bundesliga to 13 matches.
Daniel Thioune has lost all three games since taking charge as head coach, and confidence looks fragile. Werder Bremen are now right in the thick of the Bundesliga relegation fight, struggling for consistency at both ends of the pitch and too often conceding at key moments.
The pressure is building at the Weserstadion, where the home support is desperate for something to cling to.
Heidenheim
Heidenheim’s situation is arguably even more worrying. Bottom of the table, they are now 10 Bundesliga games without a win and have conceded at least twice in eight of their last 10 matches.
The 3-3 draw with VfB Stuttgart last week showed spirit, especially against top-four opposition, but defensive frailties continue to undermine them. With 51 goals conceded and still no clean sheet all season, Frank Schmidt’s men have the worst defensive record in the Bundesliga.
Heidenheim sits on just 14 points after 23 games – historically a total that almost always ends in relegation – although they did defy the odds last season via the relegation playoffs.
The Betting Verdict
This is a clash between two out-of-form sides low on confidence, but Heidenheim’s defensive record is hard to ignore. Werder Bremen are struggling badly, yet this feels like a must-win at home against the league’s leakiest defence.
Goals look likely given both teams’ issues at the back, but if either is to edge it, Werder Bremen’s home advantage may just tip the balance in their favour.
