Bundesliga Betting Preview: Bayer Leverkusen vs Werder Bremen

Bayer Leverkusen welcome Werder Bremen to BayArena, with kick-off set for 10:30 on Saturday 24 January.

There’s a case for backing Bayer Leverkusen -1 at odds of -100, meaning money back if they beat Werder Bremen by a single goal. A victory by two goals or more would land a nice return with this Asian Handicap wager.

Bayer Leverkusen have lost back-to-back Bundesliga games. Away at PreZero Arena, Hoffenheim recently beat them 1-0. The Werkself had two shots on target and enjoyed 62% possession.

On Tuesday night, Leverkusen were defeated 2-0 away to Olympiacos in the Champions League.

Werder Bremen drew 3-3 in their previous game. This was at home against Eintracht Frankfurt at Weserstadion. Horst Steffen's side had four shots on goal and boasted 60% possession, while Justin Njinmah, Jens Stage and Jovan Milosevic were on the scoresheet.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Werder have avoided defeat against Leverkusen in the past three games, with their last clash being a 3-3 draw at Weserstadion. The previous 10 H2H matches have featured five draws, four victories for Leverkusen and just one for Werder.
