Werder Bremen vs Union Berlin prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-10-23 18:30.
[p]Two of the leakiest Bundesliga defences are on display in Friday night’s Bundesliga offering, although victory here for either Werder Bremen or Union Berlin could put them right in the race for European qualification at this early stage. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Loitering in 12th after an indifferent start to the Bundesliga campaign (W2, D2, L3), Werder Bremen have the chance to break into the top seven ahead of the weekend’s action with a win here. Bremen will be kicking themselves that their Bundesliga record isn’t perfectly balanced this season after they twice squandered the lead in last weekend’s 2-2 draw away to Heidenheim. They do at least have the chance to go three games unbeaten in the Bundesliga for the first time this campaign, but three successive defeats to nil and all by a 3+ goal margin in Friday-held Bundesliga games will hardly inspire confidence. [/p]
[p]Union Berlin returned from the international break with an impressive 3-1 victory against Borussia Mönchengladbach which lifted them into the Bundesliga top half. Union have shown signs of warming to the task across the last four rounds (W2, D1, L1), although the fact they’ve got fewer points than they had at this stage in four of the last five campaigns shows that they still have room for improvement. Hitting the road could be the perfect stage to showcase those improvements, as Union have won four of their last eight Bundesliga road trips (D2, L2), although both defeats coming in their last three such games offers a slight note of caution, even if those reversals did come against top-five ranked Leverkusen and Dortmund.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Union have edged the relatively shallow H2H history between these two sides (W6, D1, L4), but Werder have won the last two meetings they hosted by a 2+ goal margin.[/p]

[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Five of Werder Bremen’s seven league games this term have seen over 3.5 goals. [/p]
[p]Bremen have attempted a league-low 78 shots this season. [/p]
[p]Union haven’t conceded a Bundesliga goal before the 30th minute this season.[/p]
[p]Only Hoffenheim (107) have committed more Bundesliga fouls than Union (104) this term. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Bremen’s Jens Stage is the joint-leading scorer in this fixture’s history (three goals), all three of which came last season, including the game’s final goal in this corresponding fixture. Tom Rothe contributed to all three of Union’s H2H goals last season and another goal here could be a positive omen as his last four away strikes all came in victories. [/p]
[p]Werder’s lengthy injury leaves them without as many as three defensive options, while Union missed Robert Skov last weekend.[/p]
