Bundesliga 2024-2025: Werder Bremen vs Wolfsburg Prediction

In recent performances, Werder Bremen has struggled significantly, enduring a string of three consecutive defeats. Their recent encounters include heavy losses to Freiburg (5-0) and Bayern Munich (3-0), as well as a 3-1 home defeat to Hoffenheim. These results indicate a worrying trend of defensive frailties, as they have conceded 11 goals across these matches without much offensive output. Conversely, Wolfsburg has shown a slightly more positive trajectory, securing a win against Stuttgart (2-1) and managing draws against Bochum (1-1) and a goalless draw with second-placed Leverkusen. Wolfsburg's recent performances suggest a more balanced approach, though their defense has been inconsistent, as evidenced by their average of 1.6 goals conceded per game over their last five matches. Advanced metrics further highlight Werder Bremen's defensive vulnerabilities, with an average of 1.8 goals conceded per game. Although their expected goals scored are relatively decent at 1.84, the defensive lapses, reflected by their expected goals conceded at 1.56, have undermined their efforts. Wolfsburg, on the other hand, demonstrates a similar scoring potential with 1.6 goals per game but are slightly more vulnerable defensively, with expected goals conceded at 2.06.
