Werder Bremen vs Holstein Kiel prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-11-08 14:30.
[p]It’s been a very indifferent start to the 2024/25 Bundesliga season for Werder Bremen, who have a perfectly split record across their opening nine games (W3, D3, L3). Last weekend brought with it arguably their worst display of the campaign so far, as they were easily beaten 4-1 by Borussia Monchengladbach, which will have the home fans concerned ahead of Saturday as their side face another outfit who begin the relevant matchday below them in the standings.[/p]
[p]More trouble could follow for Werder this weekend, as they find themselves in the middle of a run of four league outings at the Weserstadion without victory (D2, L2). In that sequence, they’ve netted just two goals, which means that they arrive here having already failed to score in three of their four Bundesliga home games this campaign – the joint second-worst total in the league behind St. Pauli. [/p]
[p]There’s also the added pressure for Werder that Holstein Kiel travel here in much higher spirits, as they finally ended their winless start to this Bundesliga season at the ninth time of asking by beating Heidenheim 1-0 on Saturday (D2, L6). Despite that victory, the visitors remain in the bottom two ahead of this matchday, with relegation still looking likely during their debut campaign in the competition. [/p]
[p]Next up for Kiel is the chance to claim a first-ever away win in the Bundesliga, but in order to achieve that, their backline will have to be at their very best here. That’s because even though they’ve netted seven goals across their four league outings on the road this term, they’ve also managed to concede at least twice in each of those games too! [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Marvin Ducksch has been in fine form for Werder this season, recording seven goal contributions in nine Bundesliga appearances (G3, A4), five of which have come in his last three outings! Holstein Kiel defender Max Geschwill meanwhile grabbed his second league goal involvement of the campaign at the weekend (G1, A1), a game in which he was also awarded Flashscore Man of the Match. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Both sides’ Bundesliga matches have averaged 2.11 first-half goals this season, with only Bayer Leverkusen’s witnessing more (2.33). [/p]
