Match Analysis

In their last three matches, Werder Bremen has experienced a mixed bag of results. They secured an impressive away victory against Leverkusen with a 2-0 scoreline. However, their form at home was less convincing, losing 1-2 to Wolfsburg, followed by a heavy 0-5 defeat at Freiburg. A key statistic is Werder Bremen's ability to score, averaging 1.2 goals in their last five games, but their defense has been porous, conceding an average of 2.0 goals. M'gladbach's recent performances have been inconsistent as well. They managed a comfortable 3-0 win away at Heidenheim, yet suffered home defeats to Mainz (1-3) and Augsburg (0-3). Despite scoring an average of 1.8 goals in their last five games, M'gladbach's defense is equally concerning, with an average of 2.0 goals conceded. Their expected goals metrics suggest they underperform defensively, which might be a critical factor against Werder Bremen's attacking threats.

Final Prediction

Werder Bremen's superior probability of winning is likely influenced by their recent away triumph and overall better expected goals performance compared to M'gladbach. A key factor to watch will be how Werder Bremen's attack capitalizes on M'gladbach's defensive vulnerabilities. Fans should anticipate an exciting and potentially high-scoring encounter, given both teams' tendencies to find the back of the net while struggling to keep clean sheets.
