RB Leipzig vs Werder Bremen Predictions

• Five of RB Leipzig’s last six home outings have featured 3+ goals
• There have been 51 goals across Werder Bremen’s 15 league outings
• Four of Leipzig’s last five home league games have seen both teams score

Can Leipzig bounce back?

It has been an inconsistent season for RB Leipzig, but few matches have been more harrowing than their 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Bayern Munich before the winter break.

That was a third successive matches to contain 3+ goals, as have five of their last six outings on home soil across all competitions.

Both teams have scored in four of those outings too, which shows the lack of clean sheets that Marco Rose’s side have been keeping, although they have lost just once in seven Bundesliga fixtures at the Red Bull Arena.

Werder Bremen in fine form

That record will be tested by a Werder Bremen team who make the trip to Leipzig on the back of four successive victories, most recently a 4-1 thrashing of Union Berlin.

That result means six of their last nine league outings have contained 3+ goals, while there have been 51 strikes across their 15 top flight games, an average of more than three per fixture.

Ole Werner’s side are therefore on a good run, but there have been a few struggles keeping clean sheets, as six of their last nine in the Bundesliga have also seen both teams score.

I predict that both teams will score in this game and that there will be 3+ goals, selecting 2-2 as a correct score prediction.
