Coming out of a very difficult period for them in terms of results, Werder Bremen is once again in the books for a spot in next season’s European tournament but can’t afford any missed steps especially against lower ranked teams like Bochum.
Werder Bremen managed 3 victories in the last 5 matches played in the Bundesliga, curiously all in away games as at home they finished in draws against though opposition such as Leverkusen and Stuttgart. With this good run they have landed a 6th spot in the table and a total of 42 points, joust one under 5th Hamburger SV and 3 from 4th Borussia Dortmund, 2 of their most likely candidate for for this part of the standings.
The team’s home statistic is very poor, after no less than 12 matches in front of their supporters they gathered only 17 points from 4 victories and 5 draws losing the rest of 5 and displaying a modest goal ratio of 21 scored and 16 conceded, more than one goal received per game.
Bochum is falling dangerous in the table, ending up on the 14th spot before the start of this leg with a total of 27 points, only 4 above Hannover and the danger zone. More important is the fact that their form has taken a big plunge with no victories in the last 4 matches played in the Bundesliga and losing the last 2 with Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund, nonetheless very competitive sides.
Their away statistic strikes as very decent for a team with their problems showing no less than 4 victories and 3 draws in 13 played but not completed with a good goal ratio as they managed to score only 11 and conceded no less than 20 thaws making me belive that this match will be one with quite a few goals.
My pick: Werder Bremen to win ( over 2.5 goals )
