In Round 17 of the Bundesliga, on Saturday, December 22nd, the RB Leipzig – Werder Bremen match will be played. The match will take place on “Red Bull Arena” starting at 14:30. The hosts need victory to be sure they will finish the first part of the championship on the spot of the Champions League.
As we have been accustomed to last time, the “bulls” slipped away, 0-1 with Bayern Munich. It was the fourth consecutive defeat on the field, the fourth in which he failed to score even a goal. Moreover, for the landscape to be complete, Ilsanker saw the red card at the end of the game just 10 minutes after entering the field. Thus, despite being on the fourth position, Leipzig feels more and more threatened by Frankfurt and Wolfsburg. Under these circumstances, victory is the only option to consider for Saturday’s confrontation. On the ground, the course is almost perfect: 6 wins and two draws. Five of these wins have been won at more than one goal difference.
On the other hand, guests are increasingly moving away from the European dream. Although they dominated Hoffenheim’s chapters in all chapters, they scored only one draw, score 1-1. With only one victory in the last eight stages, it is clear that Werder needs 2-3 solid transfers this winter to meet his goal. Although the offensive has players like Pizarro, Osako, Kruse au Harnik, none of them have scored more than three goals so far. Lack of a decisive man in front of the gate, being the main problem for Florian Kohfeldt. In none of the seven moves so far, Bremen has lost to more than one goal difference.
In the last direct confrontation, disputed in April, the two bands ended undecided, score 1-1. It was the only draw recorded in the four straight games. Leipzig was imposed on his own home every time: 3-0 (2016) and 2-0 (2017) respectively.
PREDICTION: RB Leipzig to win @ 1.50
