Werder Bremen vs Holstein Kiel Match Preview

Werder Bremen is ranked at 1st place with 57 points and comes in a very good run after two wins and three draws over the last five matches. The most important game was the 1-4 win on the road against direct rivals of Schalke which allowed Werder Bremen not only to outrank them but also grab the 1st place. They have lost just one of the last ten matches where they got five wins and four draws. At home they have been doing much better as they are unbeaten in the last 11 matches and have not lost since September of 2021.

With 58 goals they have one of the best offensive sides in the league and in the last five games they have scored a total of eight goals averaging more than a goal per game while managing to net at least a goal in each duel. Ducksch with 19 goals - 8 assists and Fullkrug 16 goals - 5 assists have been leading them towards success including in the most recent game against Schalke.

Holstein Kiel, on the other hand, is ranked at 11th place with 39 points and comes after two wins two draws, and a loss over the last five matches. It has been an average season for them as they do not really risk relegation having a nine points distance from the cold zone but also never had any higher ambitions as they lacked quality upfront.

They have scored only 39 goals so far which ranks them among the worst teams in the league. Another problem has been their leaky defense as they have conceded 49 goals. In the last five games on the road, they conceded a total of ten goals which means two goals per game while scoring six. In fact, they are one of the teams which has no players on double digits yet as their best scorer Muhling is on 7 goals - 4 assists.

In conclusion, I think Werder Bremen can win this match. They come after a big win against Schalke and not winning here would mean throwing all that sacrifice in the trash. They are a way better team and playing in front of their fans with all the motivation needed they could prevail against this rival. Holstein Kiel has got nothing left to play for in these remaining three duels and on the road, they have lost three of the last five games.
