Werder Bremen vs Eintracht Frankfurt Predictions

• Werder Bremen have lost four of their last five home Bundesliga games with over 3.5 goals in two of the last three
• Eintracht Frankfurt have won four of their last eight away league games with at least four goals in three of those victories
• Hugo Ekitike has scored 11 goals in his last 19 Bundesliga appearances

Die Adler can deliver goals again

Werder Bremen entertain Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Saturday in a game that has the potential to be a high-scoring affair.

Bremen are no longer looking over their shoulders after last weekend’s 3-0 win at basement club Holstein gave them a 14-point cushion to the relegation play-off place. They could be in the mood to go toe-to-toe with one of the most entertaining teams in the Bundesliga.

Eintracht Frankfurt have come through a sticky patch to post back-to-back wins and solidify their claims for a top-three finish. Die Adler ground out a 1-0 win at Stuttgart last weekend, but Dino Toppmoller’s side are usually involved in much more open contests.

Ekitike could make the difference

Both clubs are among the Bundesliga’s top five for goals per game with Bremen’s contests averaging 3.56 and Frankfurt’s 3.52. Over half of the games at Weser-Stadion this season have seen four goals or more.

Die Adler have one of the most wanted young strikers in Europe in their ranks with Hugo Ekitike having registered 11 goals in his last 19 league appearances. He could make the difference in a game with at least four goals in again.

Back Frankfurt, who have won four of their last eight road games in the league, to take all three points against a Bremen side who have fluffed their lines in four of their last five home Bundesliga matches, but goals are a common theme running through both clubs’ recent results.
