Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Weserstadion will host Saturday’s football game between Werder Bremen and Koln, the two mid-table sides. Die Werderaner do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team extending their losing run to three games at Leipzig. Werder Bremen are eager to avoid relegation zone and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Koln. However, home win should not be considered as both Marvin Ducksch and Niclas Fullkrug are out of contention with injuries.
The Billy Goats, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Bayer Leverkusen and Hertha Berlin. Considering that Koln have been scoring goals for fun of late, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the away team. All Davie Selke, Mark Uth, and Florian Dietz remain on the sidelines with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Oliver Burke):
A product of the Nottingham Forest football academy, Oliver Burke made his domestic debut in 2014, when he was only 17 years of age. Born in Kirkcaldy, Oliver Burke is the captain of Scotland Under-21 side who’s faced plenty of criticism ever since leaving the Championship side.
Having left Forest for Red Bull Leipzig in 2016 in a £13 million deal Oliver Burke became the most expensive Scottish player in history, whereas his hit the record book all over again the very next year when West Bromwich Albion saved him from a German misery in a £15 million deal. Burke was regularly praised for his physical ability during his time in the Bundesliga, but Leipzig coaching staff had plenty of tactical questions hanging over his head.
A precocious talent who had only scraped the surface of his own potential, Burke is looking to get his career back on track. Despite being only 21 years of age, Burke already has 5 senior appearances for Scotland under his belt.
