Werder Bremen vs Borrusia M'Gladbach Preview & Tip

Germany : Bundesliga Weser Stadion – Bremen Saturday, 16th May 2015 - kickoff 15:30 CET Werder Bremen scored a very late equalizer in last week`s 1-1 draw against Hannover 96, and kept their chances for Europe. Currently they are just a couple of points behind the last spot that leads into Europa League. If they manage to get four points from their remaining two games against Borussia Monchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund they will certainly play in Europe next season.

Werder Bremen have lost just one match from their last six played. Currently they are unbeaten in four consecutive Bundesliga games, recording two draws against SC Paderborn and Hannover 96 and two victories against Hamburger and Eintracht Frankfurt. Werder Bremen also remained unbeaten in each of their last three home matches against Mainz, Hamburger and Eintracht Frankfurt, keeping a clean sheet in all of those three matches.

This match will be an emotional farewell for the team captain Sebastian Prodl. He opted to leave the club at the end of this season, after spending seven years with the team. His biggest achievement was lifting the DFB Cup in 2009. Besides Prodl, this match will be the last in front of the Werder Bremen fans for the goalkeeper Koen Casteels, who will join Wolfsburg next season, and for David Selke, who will play for RB Leipzig.

Borussia Monchengladbach beat Bayer Leverkusen with 3-0 last weekend and cemented their third spot at the table. Now they are in a very comfortable position, as they reached their goal of playing in the Champions League next season.

Borussia Monchengladbach hit a great form in the past few weeks. They won five and drew just once in their last six Bundesliga matches. They were also very efficient in their recent games, scoring at least two goals in eight of their last ten Bundesliga matches.

Borussia Monchengladbach are also a very good away side. They remained unbeaten in their last six away matches, recording three draws against Hamburger, Mainz and Eintracht Frankfurt and three victories against Bayern Munich, TSG Hoffenheim and Hertha Berlin. Striker Max Kruse scored his eleventh goal of the season for Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend. That was his third straight game in which he scored a goal, and he is Borussia Monchengladbach`s top scorer this season. Interestingly, he will play for Wolfsburg next season as they already secured his services. Borussia Monchengladbach are sitting comfortable at the third place on the table, so chasing three points at any cost is no longer their imperative. On the other side, Werder Bremen are very close to the Europa League places and they must remain unbeaten in their last two games of this season. I expect an open game here, and I believe that Werder Bremen will manage to stay unbeaten in this match. I suggest taking a double chance bet on Werder Bremen to win or draw this match. Bet: 3.5 Over @2.38 Alternative bet: Werder Bremen win or draw @2.05
