On Saturday afternoon, two teams who have become hard to beat of late in the Bundesliga, Werder Bremen and Heidenheim, go head-to-head at the Weserstadion.
Werder is unbeaten in seven gamesThe boys from Bremen have found form of late, as not only are they unbeaten in their previous seven Bundesliga games, but a 1-0 win at Mainz last time out means that they have recorded three consecutive victories in the German top-flight.
Werder’s recent league games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous five Bundesliga matches.
Bremen are unbeaten in their last three home games, having recorded two wins and a draw.
The home team has also been highly potent on their travels in the German top flight lately, scoring at least two goals in seven of their last nine league games at the Weserstadion.
Heidenheim have drawn four straight gamesThe visitors head into this game on the back of four straight draws in the Bundesliga. However, a highly creditable 0-0 home draw with Dortmund last time out means they are unbeaten in seven league matches.
Their recent league outings have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six outings, including their last four matches in the Bundesliga.
The recent unbeaten run has Heidenheim comfortably in midtable, seven points off the European spots, and nine clear of the bottom three.
Although Frank Schmidt’s team are unbeaten in their last three away games in the German top flight, they have won just once in their ten away games in the Bundesliga.
Their most recent matches in the German top flight on their travels have been low-scoring encounters, with their last three away games producing under 2.5 goals.
What am I backing?Both teams have proven to be tough nuts to crack in recent weeks. However, the bet I am backing is the home win, as I think Werder’s recent momentum may just be enough to claim victory.
