Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig

Werder Bremen have experienced a mixed run recently, winning three of their last six matches across all competitions. Their most recent league outing ended in a heavy defeat away at SC Freiburg. In contrast, RB Leipzig enter this fixture with confidence after an emphatic three-goal victory in their Bundesliga opener against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Their recent form includes four wins in their last six matches, with the side showing defensive resilience by keeping four clean sheets in that period.

The recent history between these two sides is limited, with only two meetings on record. RB Leipzig claimed victory in their January 2025 encounter, while their most recent meeting in May 2025 ended in a goalless draw.

• Werder Bremen have five players ruled out and one in doubt for this fixture.
• RB Leipzig are managing three confirmed absences and three additional players in doubt.
• RB Leipzig head into this match coming off a dominant victory in their opening league fixture.
• Werder Bremen are looking to bounce back after a heavy defeat in their most recent league game.

RB Leipzig arrive at the Weserstadion in stronger form after a convincing start to their league campaign. While Werder Bremen are playing at home, the number of absences reported for the hosts may complicate their effort to challenge a side that has shown significant defensive strength recently. The visitors look better placed to take the points.
