Werder Bremen has hit a good run of form. Ole Werner's side has won 4 of their last 5 league matches, and in the loss during this period, they managed to score twice. This gives Werder Bremen a five-match streak of scoring at least two goals. In terms of xG, the club ranks among the top five in the tournament over this period.
Only Holstein Kiel, who sit at the bottom of the league table, have conceded more than Bochum in the current season. Bochum has let in 14 goals in their last five matches.

Werder Bremen has scored at least two goals against Bochum in 4 of their last 5 head-to-head encounters in this tournament. Given Bochum's defensive struggles, Werder Bremen is likely to deliver another strong attacking performance. My prediction: Werder Bremen Individual Total Over 1.5
