Wolfsburg vs Werder Bremen Prediction & Betting Tips (21 March)

We are no longer very far from industrial disaster for this Wolfsburg team which risks being relegated to the 2.Bundesliga this season. This would sound like a huge detonation across the Rhine for a team which fought for a long time for European places a few years ago and which has sufficient resources to at least aim for the first part of the ranking. Except that 8 days before the outcome of this exercise, the VfL is still floundering in the red zone, in 17th position in the ranking, 4 units from the first non-relegation place. In search of success for more than 2 months, the Wolves were beaten 3 times by Augsburg 2-3, Stuttgart 4-0 and Hamburg 1-2 before taking a good point against Hoffenheim 1-1 last weekend.

For their part, Werder Bremen is not out of the woods either at the end of the season. But with 25 points in their pocket, Daniel Thioune's men manage to keep their heads above water, in 15th position in the standings, with a small lead over the jump-off. The Werderaner have given themselves some fresh air in recent weeks by winning 2 crucial successes against Heidenheim 2-0 and Union Berlin 1-4. But last week, they were beaten at home by Mainz, another direct competitor in the race to remain.

Wolfsburg still deplores many absentees. The long-term absent defender Rogerio, the Hungarian midfielder Dardai, the full-backs Fischer and Maehle, the Austrian international Wimmer (3 goals), the important defender Seelt, the midfielder Svanberg and the winter recruit Cleiton must still withdraw this weekend. Danish striker Wind was able to make his return last week. Replacement goalkeeper Müller should make his return this weekend. To try to revive this team, the supporters can still hope for something from the playmaker Lovro Majer (ex Rennes, 2 goals and 3 assists), the Dane Eriksen (2 goals, 6 assists) and the attackers Amoura (8 goals) and Pejcinovic (5 goals) who are all capable of great things. Werder is also experiencing its share of defections this Saturday.

Indeed, the summer offensive recruit Boniface, the defender Pieper (potential starter) and the long-term absentees Weiser and Wöber are all still on the floor. The starting defender Coulibaly, the usual substitute Adeh, the important Mbangula (3 goals, 2 assists) and the substitute defender Agu complete the infirmary in the company of center forward Milosevic (3 goals) who had scored twice in his last 2 matches before getting injured. Finally, the excellent Dane Stage (7 goals) is suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards. Midfielder Schmid (2 goals, 6 assists) and striker Njinmah (4 goals) will therefore be alone to hope to shine up front. The probable line-ups for Wolfsburg - Werder Bremen::
