- Venue: Red Bull Arena Leipzig
RB Leipzig aim to bounce back from the 5:1 defeat against Bayern before Christmas when they welcome Werder Bremen to the Red Bull Arena on Sunday afternoon.
With Leverkusen and Bayern not at their best this season, RB Leipzig ought to be taking advantage but they have failed to do so. The Red Bulls sit nine points off the summit with just 27 points from 15 games and have suffered four defeats. Marco Rose's side conceded five goals and scored just against Bayern prior to the break, a result that means they have now shipped 4+ goals in three of their last five matches.
For Werder Bremen, the Christmas break came at the wrong time as they were in the form of their lives. The River Islanders ended 2024 on a four-game winning streak in all competitions and kept three clean sheets in the process. That run took Ole Werner's men up to seventh in the table and they COULD move into the top four with a win this weekend.
RB Leipzig vs Werder Bremen Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Goalscoring hasn't been an issue for RB Leipzig, although they boast just three wins from their last eleven games in all competitions. The Red Bulls found the back of the net in each of their last six matches, including 2+ goals against Frankfurt, Holstein Kiel and Aston Villa.
Werder Bremen are also in fine form in front of goal, with the visitors scoring at least once in each of their last five outings. They kept a clean sheet in three of those games, but keeping Leipzig's front two of Benjamin Šeško and Loïs Openda quiet for 90 minutes remains easier said than done.
