Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
All eyes will be on Weserstadion when Werder Bremen take on Hansa Rostock on day 5 of the new 2. Bundesliga campaign. Die Werderaner are eyeing their second win of the season, and the bookies see them as favourites to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s showdown. Despite failing to open his goal-scoring account in a goalless draw with ten-man Karlsruher, Niclas Fullkrug should continue to lead the line for the hosts.
The newcomers, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Dynamo Dresden, and seeing that Werder are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors will return to Rostock empty-handed. Defender Calogero Rizzuto, who limped off with injury in the 3-1 loss to Dynamo Dresden, is unlikely to feature in Sunday’s clash.
