Werder Bremen Favored to Extend Home Form Against Struggling Wolfsburg

Werder Bremen vs Wolfsburg – Match Preview and Prediction

Werder Bremen currently sit 9th in the Bundesliga with 12 points, posting a mixed record of 3 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses in their last ten matches. Their recent home form has been encouraging, winning their last two home games by a narrow 1–0 margin. Offensively, Bremen have shown occasional bursts of creativity and finishing ability, but defensive inconsistency remains a key issue—particularly highlighted by heavy defeats against Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt, where they conceded four goals in each match.

From a squad perspective, first-choice goalkeeper Mio Backhaus, defenders Yukinari Sugawara and Pieper are all available. However, Bremen face a growing injury list, including Maximilian Wolff, Salim Moussa, Felix Agu, Weiser, and Olivier Deman. These absences, particularly in defense and midfield, could undermine the team’s overall stability at the back.

Wolfsburg, meanwhile, find themselves 12th in the standings with just 8 points and in very poor form. Over their last ten games, they have recorded only one win, alongside two draws and seven defeats. Their most recent match—a 2–3 home loss to Hoffenheim—further dented morale. On the road, Wolfsburg have also struggled to find rhythm, with their attack lacking cohesion despite flashes of individual quality from players like Adam Daghsen and Mohamed Amoura.

In terms of squad availability, starting goalkeeper Kamil Grabara, midfielders Aaron Zentner and Maximilian Arnold are all fit to play. However, several key players remain sidelined, including Rogério, Kilian Fischer, Joakim Mæhle, Jesper Lindstrøm, and Kevin Paredes. These injuries heavily impact the defensive line and midfield organization, leaving Wolfsburg vulnerable against high-pressure attacks.

Match Analysis:
Werder Bremen hold a slight edge due to home advantage and more cohesive recent performances, despite their injury troubles. Wolfsburg’s morale is low and their defensive structure remains shaky, particularly away from home. While Bremen’s defensive reliability is questionable, their recent form and attacking balance suggest they are more likely to take points here.

Prediction: Home Win or Draw (1X)
