Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig — Tips & Analysis

RB Leipzig -0.5: Leipzig have owned this game for years. They have won 13 of the last 20 meetings with Bremen, and they won the last two of them 1-2 and 0-2. Bremen come into this bruised. They have won 5, tied 1 and lost 8 of their last 14 games. They were beaten 4-1 at Freiburg last time out, and they barely created a chance. They are also without five players, including forwards Justin Njinmah and Keke Topp. At home Bremen have won 2 and lost 4 of their last 6, letting in more than a goal a game there. Leipzig have won 10 of their last 14 and score more than 2 goals a game. They are not flawless on the road, where they have 4 wins and 3 losses and let in more than a goal a game. They still have far more quality than a patched up Bremen side, and they have a full week of rest behind them. A 1-2 to Leipzig is the likely score, and a one goal win lands this. The risk is a wounded Bremen digging in at home. Leipzig are also without Christoph Baumgartner, with two more doubtful, so a tight tie is not far fetched. Leipzig are still the pick.
