Prediction: Werder Bremen vs Union Berlin – 25/01/23

Competition: Bundesliga

Market: Union Berlin draw no bet

Looking to claim back-to-back Bundesliga victories on Wednesday night, Union Berlin will make the trip to Werder Bremen.

Starting with the hosts, marking their return to Bundesliga action with a nightmare display over the weekend, Werder Bremen have shown some rather glaring issues on either side of the World Cup break. Eventually getting hit with an infamous 7-1 drumming away at Koln, the River Islanders almost find themselves sat in top-flight limbo. Likewise, along with heading into the festive interval with a 2-1 loss at home against RB Leipzig, Ole Werner’s side have lost each of their last three straight Bundesliga showdowns. With that run highlighted by a woeful 6-1 drumming at the hands of defending champions Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen have gained a reputation for their rather glaring issues at the back. Shipping a remarkable 15 strikes on their three-match losing run, Werner’s downbeat squad should be bracing themselves for another tough test here.

As for the visitors, while Union Berlin might have endured a minor blip when heading into the festive break, Urs Fischer’s men came roaring back last weekend. Marking their return to Bundesliga duties with a thumping 3-1 romp at home against Hoffenheim, the Irons Ones have only continued to gain a string of plaudits from across Germany. Shocking many as they booked their spot in the knockout stage of this season’s Europa League, the former Basel boss now has a famous Champions League spot at the top of his agenda. Leading the top-four chase, Union will also be excited by a rampant record against Wednesday’s hosts. Including a 3-1 victory when the two sides last met back in April 2021, it should be noted that Fischer’s side have won each of their previous three straight showdowns. Smelling the chance to claim back-to-back Bundesliga victories here, we’re backing an away draw no bet.
