Match Prediction for Werder Bremen vs. Borussia Monchengladbach
Bremen was fortunate to catch Bayer between their two Champions League matches, which likely contributed to their victory. Otherwise, Werder would have probably suffered another defeat. At the very least, they would have conceded, as defense is a weak point for Ole Werner's side. Only two clubs have conceded more than Bremen, and even at home, Werder has kept a clean sheet in just one of their last 11 Bundesliga matches. However, they have scored in 9 of these games.
Monchengladbach has been playing very high-scoring matches in the league since the winter break, with at least three goals scored in 8 of their last 9 games. In 6 of these matches, both teams found the net.
Additionally, at least four goals have been scored in the last six head-to-head encounters between these teams in the Bundesliga. This is another factor supporting the prediction of Total over 2.5 goals.
