Werder Bremen, Recent FormThe Werder Bremen squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Augsburg, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 62% possession in that match and had 20 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Augsburg's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Ole Werner will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They are showing great consistency at Weserstadion in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. With a defensive record that shows one or more goals given away in 10 of their 12 home matches so far this season, Werner will not be happy with his squad's capabilities at keeping a clean sheet at home.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Werder recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Niklas Füllkrug will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 14 goals in Werder Bremen's 23 league games this season.
Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormWhen Bayer Leverkusen last played in the league they faced Hertha BSC and produced an outstanding 4-1 home win. In that game they recorded 62 % of the possession, with 16 attempts on goal, 9 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 7 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 10, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away games. They don't have an enviable away record at the moment, having conceded at least one goal in 10 of their last 11 league matches way from home, making valuable points hard to acquire on the road.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
Nadiem Amiri will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Werder Bremen in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Bayer Leverkusen.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
We've seen plenty of goals from Leverkusen when they've visited Die Werderaner in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 10 goals, which is an average of 3.33 per game. Playing away from home, Leverkusen have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Werder.
The last 3 league meetings between these teams has ended with a share of the spoils but Leverkusen will be slighlty more concerned that they have not won this fixture in 3 games.
Werder manager Ole Werner has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Felix Agu (Tendon), Lee Buchanan (Cold), Jean-Manuel Mbom (Calf), Jiří Pavlenka (Back), Dikeni-Rafid Salifou (Calf), Niklas Stark (Illness) and Miloš Veljković (Cold) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Charles Aránguiz (Calf) and Andrey Lunyov (Back) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Xabi Alonso will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
