Leipzig vs. Werder Bremen: Match Prediction
From this matchup, I expect a high-scoring game, especially given the statistics. Leipzig has scored in 16 consecutive home matches in the Bundesliga, and in this championship, they have not scored fewer than two goals at home. On the other hand, in 13 of their last 16 home Bundesliga matches, the club has failed to keep a clean sheet, conceding at least twice in seven games.
Werder is also not used to sitting back in defense and plays aggressively forward, even away. In their last ten away league matches, Bremen failed to score only against Bayern, while in seven matches during this period, the team scored at least two goals. However, the club's defensive actions are not reliable: in the current Bundesliga season, Werder has conceded 11 goals in five away matches.
I expect to see many goals in this encounter, and my prediction: Total over 3.5 goals
