Will Hasenhüttl make his Wolves debut?

Werder Bremen have presented themselves very well in many games this season, but there have also been matches in which the home side have struggled. Especially recently, as Werder have lost three times in a row. Now they face a struggling opponent, but one with a new coach

This also means that this game is not easy to predict. When Werder Bremen play Wolfsburg, the odds of the betting providers show a very balanced odds situation in this case. Many things are difficult to predict, especially after the break

It’s well known that a new coach can unleash energy. Bremen like to score goals regularly, and defensively neither team is very compact. These are all ideal ingredients for a game in which more than 2.5 goals are scored

Werder Bremen – Statistics & current form

Werder Bremen are not playing a bad season in the Bundesliga, but things are not going according to plan either. At times, the team even dreamed of Europe, but at the moment it looks more like coach Ole Werner’s team will have to look towards the bottom. In short: points are at stake against relegation and Wolfsburg is one of their rivals. The importance of the game should be clear.

After three defeats in a row, just like the visitors from Wolfsburg, Bremen must now take a step forward. Perhaps the international phase was just right for this. The problem, however, is that in addition to injury-related absences, three players are now also suspended, meaning that some players are not ready for action, especially defensively.

The betting providers are also aware that this can have consequences for the outcome of the match. The Werder Bremen vs Wolfsburg odds show that a high-scoring game cannot be ruled out and our betting tip is therefore that more than 2.5 goals will be scored. Bookmaker Oddset considers this to be realistic and has set odds of 1.82.

Positive: Bremen score regularly

But it’s not all bad news for the hosts at the moment. The lead over the relegation places is still relatively lucrative. In addition, at least one goal has been scored in each of the last 13 league games. That shows that the offense around Ducksch, Njinmah, Woltemade and co. is doing its job. It seems plausible that this could work again against Wolfsburg.

Five of the 13 home games have been won, with a sixth home win to follow. Werder Bremen have a problem, however, as it is always difficult to prepare for the game and a new coach at the opposing team. The hosts may have to be flexible in their line-up in order to be prepared for anything. “No losing” is likely to be the prevailing motto in any case.

Wolfsburg – Statistics & current form

VfL Wolfsburg parted company with coach Niko Kovac at the start of the international phase. The Wolves have yet to record a single win in the 2024 calendar year, so this decision was more than just logical. With new coach Ralph Hasenhüttl, the first aim is to bring stability and also to try to quickly create space between the team and the relegation places.

After all, Wolfsburg went into the matchday in 14th place, just six points ahead of the relegation places. That’s not much of a cushion, especially if they lose in Bremen. Two points from the last five games does not paint a good picture, and away from home they have averaged 0.69 points per game. All of these statistics do not make for good reading and explain why the betting odds are not in the Wolves’ favor ahead of the match between Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg.

However, due to the individual quality of Wind, who is the top scorer for Lower Saxony, the differences in the odds are only marginal. The last few games have been relatively turbulent, with more than 2.5 goals scored in three of the last four league games. This is one of the reasons why this result also corresponds to our Werder Bremen vs Augsburg prediction. Bookmaker Oddset, which is offering strong odds of 1.82 for this match, is also offering a bonus

Wolfsburg must get the defense tight

25 of the 44 goals Wolfsburg have conceded away from home. Contrary to his usual approach, which favors a very active and pressing game, Hasenhüttl must first get the defence tight. That won’t be easy. Wolfsburg have made so many mistakes recently. What’s more, some of the players have been away on international duty.

This game will be the first indication of what changes are in store for the team from Lower Saxony. The new coach hasn’t had much time with the whole team yet. Nobody should expect miracles. It will be interesting to see how Wolfsburg deal with it if the team takes the lead: With a lead behind them, 20 points have already been squandered, that can’t be allowed to continue.

Werder Bremen – Wolfsburg Direct comparison / H2H result

Both have exactly the same record in direct comparison in the Bundesliga. Both have won 20 games, both have scored 91 goals, which is quite curious. However, Werder Bremen have a 31-23 advantage overall due to their previous history, including in the Oberliga Nord. Werder have also not lost the last three games in the direct duel

Werder Bremen – Wolfsburg betting tip

Werder Bremen want to make a statement against Wolfsburg. After three defeats in a row, the team from the Weser has anger in its stomach, but also a few absentees to cope with. Wolfsburg, meanwhile, have a new coach on the sidelines, which makes the game a little unpredictable overall

The hosts need to gain confidence quickly, Wolfsburg need to generate confidence early on with the new instructions. Defensively, both have their problems, which is why our prediction ahead of the Werder Bremen v Wolfsburg game is that more than 2.5 goals will be scored.
