Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Following a thrilling 4-2 win over Wolfsburg, Werder Bremen will look to keep on climbing the standings when they face Bayer Leverkusen on Matchday 8. Die Werderaner have been scoring goals for fun of late and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play in Saturday’s encounter. A man to watch in the home team will be Marvin Duksch, who impressed at the weekend with one goal and two assists, while the likes of Anthony Jung, Marco Grull, Skelly Alvero, Jens Stage, Niklas Stark, Justin Njinmah, and Milos Veljkovic remain in the recovery room.
The BayArena outfit, on the other hand, are on a quest to defend their Bundesliga trophy, but it seems as if they have yet to find their best form. Anyhow, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered as Bayer Leverkusen are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Werder. Last time out Xabi Alonso’s men defeated die Werderaner 3-0 at Weserstadion. Nigeria striker Victor Boniface should be the only absentee in the visiting team.
