RB Leipzig seeking ambitious third-place finish as Bremen visits.
After a dramatic draw with Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig hosts Werder Bremen at Red Bull Arena this Saturday in a crucial clash as the Red Bulls eye an ambitious third-place finish.
RB Leipzig
Leipzig come into this game after a 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim, which halted their four-game winning streak in the league. A late header from Andrej Kramarić in the final minute prevented ten-man Leipzig from extending their winning run to five games.
The Red Bulls are in 4th place in the Bundesliga table with 63 points. Having secured a Champions League spot, they now set their sights on an ambitious third-place finish.
Marco Rose’s men are unbeaten in their last nine Bundesliga games and hope to continue this form. Stuttgart sits four points ahead in 3rd place, with just two games left to play.
Leipzig have a strong record against Saturday’s opponents, winning 69% of their meetings. They also boast an impressive home record, winning five of their last six league games while conceding just one goal.
The hosts aim to secure maximum points when they welcome Werder Bremen. However, with the reverse fixture ending in a 1-1 draw last December, Leipzig could go two Bundesliga games without a win against Bremen.
Marco Rose is expected to maintain the familiar 4-4-2 formation, with Yussuf Poulsen and Loïs Openda in attack. Xavi Simons is unavailable for the game due to suspension.
Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen, who are in 11th place on the Bundesliga table with 38 points (10W, 8D, & 14L), are coming into this game off an intriguing 2-2 draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach. The draw saw them extend their unbeaten run in the league to three games (DLWWD).
They make the trip to the Red Bull Arena on Saturday, hoping to extend the three-game unbeaten streak to four, a feat they have achieved only once since 2021. A win in this fixture would see them move up the table, should favorable outcomes emerge elsewhere.
Ole Werner is expected to keep the familiar 3-4-2-1 formation, with last weekend’s hero Nick Woltemade, who bagged a brace against Gladbach (45’ & 65’), leading the attack. Meanwhile, Naby Keïta remains suspended by the club for the rest of the season due to disciplinary reasons.
