Prediction: 0-2
Villarreal
Werder Bremen play host to Villarreal at their Westerstadion in a pre-season friendly. Die Werderaner are undefeated in previous three warm-up games, but it has to be noted that they have been struggling in front of goal of late. Under 2.5 goals were scored in each of their last five friendly games, meaning that we should not expect a real football festival in Bremen. Villarreal, on the other hand, are eager to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Wolverhampton and we predict that they are going to take Saturday’s friendly very seriously. The Yellow Submarine are more of a team than die Werderaner and we believe that the La Liga are going to emerge triumphant in the Weserstadion clash. You should bear in mind that Werder Bremen and Villarreal meet for the first time ever in a friendly game.
