Even though Borussia has eight points more, Werder is playing better in this second part of the season, and they were defeated twice, but they also made three wins with two draws which is not the case with Borussia and they have even lost five times, with two triumphs. Both teams have achieved victories in the last round after a defeat in the pre-season. In the first part of the season, Borussia celebrated in Bremen with 2-0 and the team from M'gladbach celebrated in the previous four mutual duels.
In the last round, Borussia finally broke the negative series and after four consecutive defeats they managed to celebrate away. Of the four mentioned defeats, two have happened on their field and two away, while they have not scored any goals in any of these matches. They had more than a game in Hannover, but they struggled with efficiency, and then 20 minutes before the end, midfielder Kramer has scored a goal worthy of victory.
After more than 430 minutes, they have managed to shake the net of their opponent and it was the fourth consecutive match that ended with a score of 1-0, with the proviso that they have lost the previous three duels with that score. Coach Hecking has not changed anything in relation to the duel against Borussia Dortmund, but it is not surprising, because they were dominant in that match and they only failed to score. They also have a lot of problems with injuries, so Hecking does not have too many options for rotation.
Probable lineups Borussia M’gladbach: Sommer – Oxford, Ginter, Vestergaard, Elvedi – Zakaria, Kramer – Hofmann, T.Hazard – Bobadilla, Stindl
Werder continues to play good in the second half of the season, and in the last round, they have already recorded their third win, which with two draws brought them quite a few points, but it is still insufficient to relax, with the exception that their other rivals from the bottom of the table win points, so now they only have two more points than Mainz, which is in a position that leads in the playoffs for survival. However, there were some benefits, because the positions that are directly leading to a lower rank are now big nine points below, and at least in that regard, they can be relieved.
That is why the win in the derby of the last round against HSV is extremely important, because that team is in the penultimate place. They were dominant, they were better and the prize arrived four minutes before the end, and that was the own goal of the guests. They are finally in a constant form when it comes to matches on their field and they have not lost in Bremen for a long time, and they know how to surprise the guests, as was the case in Gelsenkirchen. They have failed in Freiburg two rounds ago and Johannsson ended up on the bench, and Junuzovic played instead. Kainz played poorly, so he could now be replaced by Belfodil.
Probable lineups Werder Bremen: Pavlenka – Gebre Selassie, Veljkovic, Moisander, Augustinsson – Bargfrede – M.Eggestein, Junuzovic, Delaney – Belfodil, M.Kruse
Werder plays well in the second half of the season, even better than Borussia, but the team from M'gladbach wakes up and they need they need a victory at home to get out of the crisis and we believe they will come to it here.
Pick: Borussia M'gladbach
