Bitesize Prediction: RB Leipzig vs Werder Bremen – 5/14/23
Competition: Bundesliga
Market: RB Leipzig victory
Rating: 4/11 @
Looking to extend their buffer in the Champions League places, RB Leipzig host struggling Werder Bremen at the Red Bull Arena on Sunday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, while RB Leipzig might have accepted any chance of a shock title charge being ruled out, Marco Rose's side are enjoying what has been an extended purple patch. Last seen putting on another eye-catching display as they cruised to a 1-0 win at Freiburg, the Red Bulls now find themselves firmly seated in pole position to clinch another Champions League ticket in 2023. Ending the season with a veritable flurry, the former Borussia Dortmund boss saw his side win six of their last seven domestic appearances in all competitions – a run dating back to April 1. With their extended flurry highlighted by a 5-1 loss to Freiburg on May 2 as they booked their place in this year's DFP Pokal final, Leipzig are rightfully seen as a standout pick here. It's also worth noting that Rose's top-flight side have collected 15 points in their last six Bundesliga games at home.
As for the visitors, while Werder Bremen might have secured a well-deserved 4-2 win at Hertha Berlin on April 22, it seems like it was just a small boost for Ole Werner's team. Last seen being impacted by a 2-1 home loss to defending champions Bayern Munich, the River Islanders have recorded just one victory in one of their last nine Bundesliga appearances. Signing April with another flat display as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at Schalke, the former Holstein Kiel boss will have a growing headache over his side's defensive struggles. In fact, Bremen have now scored a pair of goals in each of their last nine consecutive outings. Knowing they will face another real test when they travel to the Red Bull Arena on Sunday afternoon, Werner's men should also be worried about their prolonged problems against the Champions League chasers. Having failed to win any of their last six games against Leipzig, a home win is expected here.
