RB Leipzig welcome the visitors SV Werder Bremen in the German Bundesliga – Round 17. The match will be held on Saturday, December 22nd, at the Red Bull Arena (Leipzig).
RB Leipzig had a blistering start to this season, featuring no loss in 10 matches, but the record of the last 5 rounds reads just 2 wins and 3 defeats; these defeats were away though. On their turf, the team are very confident and very successful – they suffered no home loss within this campaign. In the last match, Leipzig conceded to Bavaria away, and now they need to rack up points to stay in the Champions League zone, as their closest pursuer Eintracht are only 1 point behind (quite a good motivation for the hosts in the coming match). The team face a home game tomorrow and their physical condition is optimal; moreover, they need to secure their position ahead of the winter break to prepare to the Champions League with no worries about the local competition. So, we see no reasons for the hosts not to pick up 3 points in their coming meeting with SV Werder Bremen.

The visiting side demonstrate a decent play proving their solid middle-class position. They know to score, being rather effective (26 goals made), but they cannot boast secure defense that missed 26 goals as well. On their travels, Werder are not consistent at all. They did win thrice away, but they lost in the same number of games and drawed in 1. It is worth mentioning that the ‘River Islanders’’ current form is bad, and the team have been receding somehow lately. Their solitude win in the last 7 matches proves that. Thus, the guests are unlikely to oppose the hosting team who are shining at their stadium.
Leipzig are by all means favorite in this match. They have a number of advantages over the opponent, including their squad and class. Werder are not successful in their last matches, and now they face such an opponent away. Also, the home side’s players will be more motivated.
Prediction for the match: RB Leipzig to win home.
