Werder Bremen to Win
Bochum have slipped down to third last place in the Bundesliga following a run of four defeats in five assignments and on Saturday, the relegation candidates face another tough test when they travel to take on Werder Bremen. The host have won two of their last four matches in the Bundesliga and they’ve already gotten the better of Bochum once this term with a 2-0 win over them in September. A repeat result could be on the cards here and our first Werder Bremen vs Bochum prediction recommends a stake on the hosts in the match result market.
Niclas Fullkrug to Score Anytime
Werder Bremen’s Niclas Fullkrug is the surprised pace-setter in the race to win the Bundesliga’s golden boot this season and two of the striker’s 13 goals in the division were notched in one game against Bochum back in September. Having already punished Bochum’s weak defence twice in 2022/23, Fullkrug looks like a candidate worth backing in the anytime goalscorer stakes against the same outfit on Saturday.
