Werder Bremen vs Schalke Match Preview

Werder Bremen is ranked at 8th place with 19 points and comes after two wins two draws and a loss over the last five matches. Currently, they sit six points behind the promotion play-off zone and a win against a direct rival would be worth double points here.

With 19 goals scored so far they have shown a pretty good offensive side and in the last five matches, they have scored a total of eight goals averaging more than a goal per game, while managing to find the back of the net at least once in four encounters. Only in the loss against Darmstadt they failed to score.

They have a team with some quality players who have Bundesliga experience and soon the whole team should click together to have even better results. Ducksch has been having a great season until now with 6 goals - 1 assist and is expected to play again from the start here.

Schalke, on the other hand, is ranked at 6th place with 22 points and comes after three wins and two losses over the last five matches. Before suffering the two losses in the last two games they were rolling very good being ranked inside the promotion zone but now they see themselves three points behind it.

With 22 goals scored so far they have one of the best offensive sides in Bundesliga and in the last five matches they have scored a total of nine goals, averaging almost two goals per game while managing to find the back of the net in four duels.

A probable win here would surely help them get back on track and shorten the distance with the top teams. For them Terodde has been on fire with 11 goals - 2 assists so far followed by Bulter 4 goals - 2 assists.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Werder Bremen will play in front of their fans and has got to dare more in order to earn positive results. Scoring a goal is the minimum expected by them. Schalke is displaying quite an offensive football and I fancy them to score here despite being on the road.
