RB Leipzig vs Werder Bremen prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2023-05-13 15:30.
The weekend’s Bundesliga action will draw to a close with a crunch clash at Red Bull Arena when RB Leipzig look to maintain their slender one-point cushion in the top four that they had achieved by the end of the previous round. Freiburg will have been happy to see the back of Leipzig after they beat them to reach the DFB-Pokal final and usurped them from the top four in the space of a week.
Given that the two clubs just one point behind them play each other this round, Marco Rose’s men will certainly kick off as a top four side and have a brilliant chance to solidify that position. There is no shortage of stats to boost hopes of doing just that too, as the Red Bulls’ rampant run of six wins across their last seven competitive games is supplemented by a 100% unbeaten record in Bundesliga action against promoted opposition (W23, D3)!
No side has ever played more top flight games against the new boys without ever losing, so the latest contenders to try and break that streak are Werder Bremen, a side who will know by kickoff how many points (if any) are needed to confirm safety. Even at the start of the round, the River Islanders were probably set for another season in the top flight with their current 35-point haul, yet improving on some torrid nine-game form (W1, D2, L6) would be beneficial before heading into the off-season.
The often prolific frontline of Bremen may well cause Leipzig a headache after accruing ten goals across their last five away games, yet just one victory in that period points to a major area for improvement (W1, D2, L2). Ole Werner’s men have thrown caution to the wind this season and that is perhaps best illustrated by their record of conceding at least twice in all but one away league trip against sides beginning the round above them (W1, D4, L4).
Players to watch: Leipzig midfielder Kevin Kampl has made a joint career-best four Bundesliga goal contributions against Bremen (G1, A3) and could be primed to add to that after scoring twice in his last four games. Trying to get the better of him will be Bremen’s in-demand Marvin Duksch (G12), the man who scored a hat-trick in their only league win since February!
Hot streak: Leipzig haven’t played any side more often than Bremen in top-flight home games without ever dropping a point (W5).
