Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg take on each other at Weserstadion in the Bundesliga round 26. Die Werderaner aim to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Bayern Munchen, and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from Saturday’s clash. Niclas Fullkrug, who scored as a substitute in the defeat to Bayern Munchen, is pushing for a start, while defender Marco Friedl returns from suspension.
The Wolves, on the other hand, aim to build on a splendid 5-0 win over Schalke. Wolfsburg are determined to represent Germany in the Champions League, and seeing that they want this win more than the hosts, away win should be considered. Paulo Otavio remains sidelined through suspension as he is serving a three-match ban, both Lacroix and Schlager return to contention. In the first half of the season Wolfsburg recorded a 5-3 win over Werder Bremen.
