Eintracht Frankfurt vs Werder Bremen prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-08-22 13:30.
[p]Eintracht Frankfurt’s memorable 2024/25 campaign will have the Deutsche Bank Park faithful buzzing for this season, as they face an improving Werder Bremen on the opening day.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Eintracht Frankfurt produced their highest Bundesliga finish since 1992/93 last season when they finished third, marking the third successive season that they’ve improved their Bundesliga position compared to the season before. This time it’s granted Dino Toppmöller’s men UEFA Champions League football, a feat that will no doubt soften the blow of losing the likes of Hugo Ekitike and defender Tuta in the summer transfer window. Having also lost Omar Marmoush in January, the Eagles have moved to strengthen their forward line while weakening their rivals, signing Jonathan Burkardt and Ritsu Dōan from Mainz and Freiburg respectively.[/p]
[p]Werder Bremen themselves have shown constant improvement since being promoted in 2021/22, also climbing the table in each of the previous campaigns to reach eighth last time out. This season will be challenging as they’re under new leadership, with Ole Werner replaced in the dugout by Horst Steffen. His reign started off terribly as they were dumped out of the DFB-Pokal after a 1-0 loss to Arminia Bielefeld, and the transfer window has been rather quiet, with the only notable incoming being Samuel Mbangula from Juventus for €10m – the second-highest fee they’ve ever paid for a player.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Bremen won the most recent H2H 2-0 in April, but had won just one of the previous 11 meetings (D5, L5).[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Ritsu Dōan’s Frankfurt debut was picture perfect as he scored a brace in the DFB-Pokal, and he’ll be confident of endearing himself further to his new fans here since his last four Bundesliga goals came at home. Bremen playmaker Romano Schmid usually gets into his work early with three of his last four club goals coming before half-time, the exception being an 84th minute strike against Frankfurt in May.[/p]
[p]Frankfurt duo Ellyes Skhiri and Nathaniel Brown have both sat out pre-season with injury, while goalkeeper Kauã Santos has been sidelined since April. Bremen are set to be without important figures Jens Stage and Mitchell Weiser for the campaign opener, while Maximilian Wöber went off injured against Bielefeld. [/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Frankfurt should come out firing, and trusting them to get stuck in early by backing them on the Half-Time/Full-Time line is a wise play. [/p]
