Werder Bremen v RB Leipzig

Werder Bremen v RB Leipzig Preview

Werder Bremen gained an important point on the road on Friday night when they held Borussia M'gladbach to a creditable 2-2 draw which has helped the hosts keep the teams below them in the relegation zone at arms length while RB Leipzig moved up into third place in the Bundesliga table following their 3-1 home win over Hoffenheim, so both teams will head into Tuesday night's clash in positive mood.

Werder Bremen have now collected four points from their last two games in the German top flight as they had previously registered a valuable 2-0 home win against mid-table outfit, Augsburg, but the hosts know they will face an entirely different and tougher prospect this time around at their wohninvest WESERSTADION when high-flying RB Leipzig visit on Tuesday night.

Results overall this season have seen Werder Bremen produce a mixed bag of results overall as Ole Werner's side have captured just four wins, drawn three but also lost eight within their 15 league matches played to date although the hosts have won all four of their victories so far this season on home soil which gives them a chance here on Tuesday night.

RB Leipzig moved up into third spot in the Bundesliga standings after recording a comprehensive 3-1 home win against sixth placed Hoffenheim which became the visitors' third league win on the trot and manager Marco Rose will be urging his side to make the most of an indifferent looking Werder Bremen outfit here on Tuesday night as they seek to reduce the four-point deficit on league leaders, Bayer Leverkusen.

The prospects of an away win here are further boosted after RB Leipzig also accounted for the likes of Heidenheim 2-1 and a 3-2 win away from home at Borussia Dortmund in prior victories in the domestic top flight while the bigger picture shows RB Leipzig have suffered just three defeats overall so far this season.

All three defeats have been inflicted upon Marco Rose's side on their travels this term, losing at Bayer Leverkusen, Mainz and Wolfsburg, but the visitors have also registered 10 wins within their total of 15 games played to date this term, so RB Leipzig will still be in confident mood as they prepare for this midweek trip to the wohninvest WESERSTADION.

Werder Bremen v RB Leipzig Verdict

Werder Bremen have won just four out of their last 13 home games in the Bundesliga and having also slipped to seven defeats within this period as well, the hosts look to have their work cut out to get a result here against RB Leipzig.

RB Leipzig have won four of their seven away games this season and they have absolutely dominated Werder Bremen in previous exchanges, winning the last seven meetings on the trot.

Therefore, our main bet will be RB Leipzig win @ 1.57
