BETTING PREVIEW
Hamburg are 9th after being held 1-1 at Nurnberg last weekend, while Werder Bremen's 5-0 defeat by Borussia Dortmund leaves them 12th, just 3 points behind their hosts. This promises to be a very tight contest, most likely a draw or decided by just a 1 goal margin.
It's been tough for Werder Bremen lately, who have gone 3 games without a win, including 2 losses. Their last win was a 4-1 result at Hoffenheim, secured last month.
The Bremendefence is a serious worry, conceding 10 goals in their last 3 games. Their last 5 games have seen them ship 15. Hamburg only have 19 goals in their 18 matches, but will get a good chance to score a few against a travelling and highly suspect Bremen defence.
Werder Bremen have not notched many wins recently, but they have scored in most games. They have 28 goals this season, and while they are away they should get the chance to get past Hamburg, whose defence is on the tight side, although the 22 they've conceded means they are allowing at least a goal per game average.
Indeed, when the two teams last met earlier this season, Bremen won 2-0. The time before that, they visited here and won 3-1 last season. There should be enough chances for Bremen, who have won the last 3 meetings with 2 clean sheets and allowing just 1 goal in total.
However, back to that defence which is not trustworthy. Bremen could easily score twice and still lose this game, that's how bad they can be. I think we have to avoid the result here as it's just too hard to predict and stake money on.
THE BETTING VERDICT
Back to the old favourite, which should come in by HT, in my opinion.
