*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Rock bottom Bochum lost for the 10th time in 12 fixtures last weekend when they were edged out by Augsburg (1-0) and the strugglers have just a 32.3% chance of recording a first win of the campaign on Saturday.
Werder Bremen’s form has been mixed of late, though their last win in the league came against relegation candidates Holstein Kiel (2-1) and the 5/4 favourites could do well against another contender for the drop this weekend. Check out more of our latest football predictions on our tip-packed page.

Player to watch – Mitchell Weiser
Mitchell Weiser’s raiding runs down the right flank have been a great source of creativity for Werder Bremen this season and the wingback has already claimed four assists in 11 Bundesliga appearances since August.

Weiser can deliver from the right again
Weiser has been averaging 1.50 key passes per game in the Bundesliga this season and only two Werder Bremen players have been performing better for that metric so far. Weiser’s pinpoint passing could be a feature of Saturday’s game against Bochum.
