RB Leipzig vs Werder Bremen Prediction & Betting Tips (23 November)

Leipzig still has to make do with a few absences for this part. Indeed, the usual replacements Nedeljkovic, Henrichs and Finkgräfe as well as the more important midfielder Haïdara are still not restored. Forfeited during his team's defeat at Hoffenheim, French defender Lukeba is expected to play in the central axis. Midfielder Kempl should also make his return this Sunday. Up front, the Brazilian Rômulo is the man to watch in the offensive sector of RasenBall Sport with 4 goals and 4 assists to his credit. That said, it is the Austrian midfielder Baumgartner who remains the best fireworks player in this team with 5 goals (and 2 assists). Also pay attention to winger Diomandé (3 goals, 2 assists).

Werder is still reduced for this trip to the Red Bull Arena. Indeed, defenders Agu, Stark, Weiser, Deman and Wöber all have to throw in the towel again this week. Fortunately for them, the Werderaner should be able to take with them the formidable Danish midfielder Stage who scored his 4th goal of the season before the international break. The striker Mbangula scored his 3rd goal at the very end of the match, which allows him to beat Ninjmah and Schmid and the Austrian Grüll who all remain at 2 goals. The probable line-ups for RB Leipzig - Werder Bremen: RB Leipzig: Gulacsi - Baku, Orban, Bitshiabu, Raum - Ouedraogo, Seiwald - Bakayoko (or Diomandé), Baumgartner, Nusa - Romulo.Werder Bremen: Backhaus - Sugawara, Pieper, Coulibaly, Friedl - Lynen, Stage - Grüll, Schmid, Mbangula - Boniface.

The tactical battle between Leipzig and Bremen promises to be intriguing. Leipzig’s pressing game and ability to transition quickly from defense to attack often overwhelm opponents, while Bremen rely more on structured buildup and opportunistic finishing. Leipzig’s home advantage could play a significant role, as they have been particularly strong at the Red Bull Arena, where they recently overcame Freiburg 3-1 in a commanding display. Bremen, on the other hand, have struggled on the road, with their last away victory coming back in September. The contrast in form and squad depth suggests Leipzig will look to dominate possession and create chances through their dynamic midfielders, while Bremen will aim to stay compact and strike on the counter.

Considering the recent performances and the balance of quality between the two squads, a prediction leans toward Leipzig securing a convincing win. Bremen’s resilience may allow them to find the net, but Leipzig’s attacking firepower and consistency should prove decisive. With Openda and Simons in excellent form, and Olmo adding creativity, Leipzig are expected to break down Bremen’s defense multiple times. Taking all factors into account, the most realistic forecast is a 3:1 victory for RB Leipzig, a scoreline that reflects both their superiority and Bremen’s ability to at least register a goal.
