Bayer 04 Leverkusen meets SV Werder Bremen on Sunday (5:30 p.m.). Most recently, Werder had to admit defeat when they suffered their eleventh defeat of the season against FC Augsburg. Last week, Leverkusen beat Hertha BSC 4-1. Bayer is now in the middle of the table with 31 points. In the first leg, both teams were content with a 1-1 draw.
Evidence of Bremen’s mixed home performance is 16 points from twelve games. The defensive of coach Ole Werner’s team has had to get over too many goals to date – this has already been the case 43 times.
Seven points from the last five games is a reasonable result for Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
Here two close competitors play against each other. Coach Xabier Alonso Olano’s team is ninth with 31 points. However, SV Werder Bremen is just behind in eleventh place with just one point less and can overtake Bayer with a win. Both teams have had nine wins so far this season.
The signs point to a balanced game between two equal teams.
