LiontipsWerder - Union. Forecast and bets for the Bundesliga match
Command Analysis
Current form
Werder are approaching the start of the 15th round on a three-match unbeaten streak, with the last two matches being shutout wins over outsiders Bochum (1:0) and St. Pauli (2:0). The Bremen team is currently in ninth place in the table with 22 points and is only one point behind the Eurocup zone. It is characteristic that Ole Wehner team is most successful in away matches, having scored 16 points. At home, they have only managed to beat one of the outsiders, Holstein (2:1), since the beginning of the season. Striker Marvin Ducksch stands out in the squad, having scored four goals and six accurate passes in 14 matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Agu, Bittencourt, Njinma and Topp are injured and will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Werder are unbeaten in seven of their last nine Bundesliga home games
- Three of Werder previous four matches ended in a draw at half-time
Estimated line-up: Zetterer – Jung, Stark, Friedl – Weiser, Stage, Lienen, Kehn – Grüll, Schmidt – Ducksch.
Current form
Union played the opening period of the season confidently, and managed to achieve success thanks to a reliable defense. However, without a more or less stable game in attack and without goals scored, it is difficult to count on high places in the Bundesliga in the long run. As a result, the team has not been able to win since October, the unsuccessful streak in the championship has reached seven matches - four defeats and three draws. In the tournament table, the "iron ones" have already rolled back to 12th place and, it seems, they have to forget about the fight for European cups. In the last round, Bo Svensson charges were unable to beat Bochum on their home field (1:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Stein and Ilic will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries. Vogt will serve a disqualification.
Interesting trends for betting
- Union have not won in 11 of their last 12 Bundesliga matches
- In six of the previous seven away matches in the championship involving Union, no more than three goals were scored
Estimated line-up: Rennow - Leite, Duki, Querfeld - Skov, Khedira, Schaefer, Rothe - Yehn, Hollerbach - Sibach.

5.90Tip and bets
At the moment, Werder are performing better than their opponents in all respects. However, it is hardly worth writing off the “iron” team right away. Union is successfully playing matches against Bremen, having lost only once in the last seven head-to-head encounters. Plus, Werder is experiencing difficulties on its home field, with only one home win since the start of the season. We believe that it is worth starting from the underdog when choosing bets in this pair.
Our prediction is that Union will not lose with odds of 1.74
Bet on total
In recent matches it is noticeable that Union has become more active in attack, in three matches in a row the Berliners have scored goals. At the same time, they have failed to play to zero in four games in a row. We think there is a high probability that the opponents will exchange goals today.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.88
Bet on the first half
In two of the three previous personal meetings, all the main events on the field unfolded after the break, and in the first half a draw with an exact score of 0:0 was recorded. We expect in the forecast that this time the same scenario will be in the game.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.20
