RB Leipzig vs Werder Bremen Tips & Preview - Goals expected in open contest
- RB Leipzig and Werder Bremen close in points, both aiming for top-four.
- Leipzig sit 4th; struggling with inconsistency but strong attack led by Lois Openda.
- Werder ended 2024 strong, consistent scoring, but defensive challenges on the road.
RB Leipzig vs Werder Bremen
RB Leipzig welcome Werder Bremen to the Red Bull Arena in the German Bundesliga with both teams looking to make a top four push in the second half of the season.
With just two points between them, there is little to separate both teams at the moment. They appear to boast similar qualities going forward and should produce goals on Sunday with players like Lois Openda likely to star.
RB Leipzig Form
RB Leipzig ended 2024 with a 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in their final Bundesliga fixture of the year. That result underlines their inconsistency in the first half of the season as they have claimed three wins and suffered as many defeats from their last seven Bundesliga matches.
The good news for RB Leipzig is that they remain in the mix for the Champions League places, sitting fourth in the table two points above the chasing pack. Manager Marco Rose will be keen to strengthen their position in the second half of the season, starting with Saturday’s clash.
Lois Openda has six Bundesliga goals this season and leads a Leipzig attack that has scored nine times in the last five league matches. However, the hosts have also conceded 15 times in that run while four of those five fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.
Werder Bremen Form
Werder Bremen also have eyes for the Champions League places as they sit just two points behind Leipzig. Manager Ole Werner will be keen to pick up where they left off in 2024 having won their final three Bundesliga matches of the year.
A 4-1 Bundesliga home victory over Union Berlin wrapped things up for Werder last year. That result highlights their quality going forward as they often spread their goals across the team and have scored 10 times in their last five matches.
Werder Bremen however struggle to keep clean sheets on the road and have conceded seven goals in their last five Bundesliga away matches. Five of their eight Bundesliga matches away from home have produced over 2.5 goals.
Head to Head
RB Leipzig often get the better of Werder Bremen, winning four of the last six matches. However they battled to stalemates in their two meetings last season with both matches ending in 1-1 draws.
Verdict
RB Leipzig and Werder Bremen have plenty to fight for coming into the new year and they appear evenly matched at the moment, especially in attack. With neither defence particularly solid, both teams have enough quality to cause each other problems and produce goals in Saturday’s clash.
Lois Openda has four goals in the last six matches across all competitions and was also on target in one of the matches against Werder Bremen last season. The striker is likely to get on the score sheet here.
