- Competition: Germany - Bundesliga
- Date: Saturday, 19th, April 2025
- Kickoff: 14:30 UK / 15:30 CEST
- Venue: Weserstadion (Bremen)
Werder Bremen will be aiming to edge closer to European qualification as they welcome relegation-threatened Bochum to the Weserstadion on Saturday in Bundesliga matchday 30.
The River Islanders gave a significant boost to their hopes of clinching a UEFA spot after sailing to a huge 2-1 win over ten-man Stuttgart last week, with Oliver Burke sealing the deal by netting a dramatic 90th-minute winner and completing his brace.
From their perspective, Bochum find themselves still stuck in the thick of the survival battle after a dramatic late collapse saw them fall 2-1 to a 10-man Augsburg, which means their best route to safety may now hinge on securing the relegation playoff berth held by Heidenheim.
Werder Bremen vs Bochum Betting Tips : WERDER BREMEN TO WIN
With only five matches left to play, both sides are desperate for points to fuel their battles at opposite ends of the table, but we feel the men in green and white are better poised to grab all three and are likely to do so in routine fashion. Werder Bremen approach the final sprint of the 2024-25 Bundesliga season with the wind at their backs as they have strung together three wins on the bounce, ie prevailed in all but one of their past five top-flight outings. In sharp contrast, Bochum's shocking 3-2 comeback win over Bayern Munich on March did not serve as a confidence booster but instead backfired, as Die Blauen were beaten in each of their subsequent four Bundesliga matches, conceding a worrying 12 goals. The recent dramatic drop in form has practically extinguished Bochum's hopes of climbing out of the bottom three, and their leaky defense will almost certainly allow an attacking-minded Werder Bremen to go for maximum points, with us believing they’ll extend their winning streak in the Bundesliga to four games.
