Prediction: 3-1
Werder Bremen
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Holstein Kiel and Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayer Leverkusen will look to keep their title hopes alive when they face Werder Bremen on Saturday. The reigning champions have been in a fine form of late, but they are still eight points behind league leaders Bayern Munich in the standings. Towering defender Piero Hincapie is back from suspension, whilst all Odilon Kossounou, Martin Terrier, and Jeanuel Belocian remain in the recovery room.
Die Werderaner, on the other hand, have suffered a dip in form, losing each of their last four league matches. As Werder Bremen suffered a heavy 5-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen in their last meeting at BayArena, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. The likes of Leon Opitz, Marvin Duksch, and Marco Friedl miss out with injuries for the away team, while Romano Schmid should be fit for the match.
