Game Preview
Werder Bremen will be aiming to return to winning ways when they host RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The visitors, meanwhile, have won three successive league matches and would end this period prior to the World Cup in the top four should they extend that streak.
After winning two matches in a row ahead of their trip to Munich to face the reigning champions Bayern on Tuesday, Bremen could treat the encounter as something of a free hit having performed significantly above expectations so far this season.
Ultimately, they were thrashed 6-1 at the Allianz Arena as the Bavarians extended their lead at the top of the table, although Ole Werner’s side held onto seventh spot ahead of the weekend’s action.
With Borussia Dortmund four points ahead of Bremen in sixth place prior to their trip to Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday, Die Werderaner cannot end this period any higher than their current position, but a point against Leipzig on Saturday would ensure that they remain in the top half of the table heading into the New Year.
Christian Streich’s team, who arrived at the Red Bull Arena in second place in the table, were second best throughout, with Lukas Kubler’s goal in the 66th minute one of only three shots that they managed to generate throughout the encounter.
Ultimately, Leipzig’s victory never looked in doubt after Christopher Nkunku doubled his side’s lead two minutes after Mohamed Simakan’s 54th-minute opener, with Emil Forsberg’s late penalty wrapping things up.
With Freiburg facing second-placed Union Berlin on Sunday, Leipzig will be guaranteed a spot in the top four heading into the New Year if they can beat Bremen on Saturday, as their superior goal difference would take them above both sides should the result be a draw at Stade Europa-Park.
