Werder Bremen vs Holstein Kiel Prediction & Betting Tips (9 November)

Since its return to the Bundesliga more than 2 years ago, Werder Bremen has never really needed to fear for its place in the elite. Better yet, this club almost won a place in Europe last year by playing just one goal away from Heidenheim, who are now competing in the Conference League. Quite well off to a good start this season again, the locals find themselves in the soft underbelly of the ranking, in 10th position, with 12 points collected in 9 days. After being able to take the measure of Wolfsburg 2-4 , Werder Bremen was able to hold the reigning champion, Bayer Leverkusen, in check 2-2, before losing quite heavily last weekend on the lawn of Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-1 .Holstein Kiel, for its part, only arrived in the off-season in the elite with the firm intention of being able to settle there.

Unfortunately for them, everything does not go as planned for the visitors who are already encountering enormous difficulties in this championship. And with only 5 points taken after 9 days, the promoted team are only in 17th position for the moment, 3 points behind the first non-relegation team. That said, after suffering 2 consecutive losses against Union Berlin 0-2 and Stuttgart 2-1, the Storks were finally able to secure their first victory of the season last week against Heidenheim 1-0 .

Werder must once again cope without the former Lyonnais Alvero and without the striker Grüll who are unable to play this match, injured. To this we add that the midfielder Keita is still sidelined by his management and that the midfielder Weiser is suspended after being expelled last weekend. The offensive sector of this team should once again be led by the very good Ducksch (3 goals, 4 assists) who is involved in almost half of his team's goals this season. Also pay attention to the Danish midfielder Stage (3 goals) On the visitors' side, the injured long-term player Bekel, the young Kelati, the attacker Swedish Bernhardsson, defenders Becker and Johansson and the starting midfielder Holtby are all injured and they are all continuing to recover.

Good news on the other hand for this team with the return of midfielder Arp who is no longer suspended. Author of 4 goals this season, the striker Japanese Machino is the most decisive player in this formation but it was midfielder Erras who scored his team's only goal in the victory against Heidenheim last week.
