Werder Bremen vs Nurnberg Match Preview

Werder Bremen is ranked at 3rd place with 53 points and comes after two wins two draws and a loss over the last five matches. Their shape has not been that great recently but after the false step of St. Pauli, this game is worth a lot more for them. In case of a win, they can climb to the second spot and almost secure a ticket for direct promotion considering there would be only four games left to play.

With 53 goals scored so far, they have one of the best offensive sides in the league and in the last five matches they have scored a total of six goals averaging a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net in each duel. Even at home, they have scored at least a goal in each of the last five games.

Their offensive side led by Ducksch with 17 goals - 8 assists and Fullkrug with 15 goals - 4 assists should be able to pull off another decent performance.

Nurnberg, on the other side, is ranked at 5th place with 49 points and comes after three wins a draw, and a loss over the last five matches. This is a do-or-die game for them as they sit four points behind the 3rd place which gives a ticket for the promotion playoffs. That is why I expect them to try and grab a positive result and not just sit back to defend.

With 44 goals scored so far, they have shown a good offensive side and in the last five matches, they have scored a total of 10 goals averaging two goals per game while managing to find the back of the net in each duel too. For them, the best offensive players have been Shuranov 6 goals - 2 assists and Dovedan 6 goals - 1 assist who are both expected to play from the start in this one.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Werder Bremen after two consecutive draws needs to bounce back and return to winning ways if they want to return to top-flight football next season. I think they can score a couple of goals here. Nurnberg, as I said, also fancy playing attacking football and will try and win this game as even a draw would not be useful for them.
