Werder Bremen vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction: Goal-shy hosts in trouble

Key Stats

• Werder Bremen are in the midst of a three-match scoreless run.
• Werder Bremen have enjoyed success in Friday-held Bundesliga home fixtures, winning all three since the start of 2025.
• Only Bayern Munich (24) have scored more away Bundesliga goals than Eintracht Frankfurt this season (20).
• Frankfurt have lost their last three Bundesliga away games on a Friday night – including one against Werder Bremen.

Correct score prediction: Werder Bremen 0-2 Eintracht Frankfurt

Sitting just five points above the relegation zone, Werder Bremen are beginning to flirt with danger as their poor form in the Bundesliga continues.

Horst Steffen and his men have not tasted victory since early November, losing four of their last six outings in the league – including a 3-0 thumping at the hands of Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night.

Another major concern is the lack of goals, with Die Werderaner failing to rattle the net in three straight competitive outings.

Frankfurt, meanwhile, can’t stop scoring. The Eagles have scored six goals across their last three Bundesliga matches, yet they still failed to register a single win.

The big problem for Eintracht is at the back, with the team managing one clean sheet in nine games across all competitions.

Nevertheless, we are backing the visitors to end their three-match winless run and reinvigorate their push for European places.

Pre-game odds and win probability: The Eagles slight favourites

HOME: 8/5 (2.6) – 38.50%

DRAW: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.80%

AWAY: 3/2 (2.50) – 40.00%

Werder Bremen preview: Hosts desperate for points

As poor results continue for Werder Bremen, there is a fear that the team could get dragged into a fierce relegation battle in the second half of the season. With that in mind, the desperation for points continues to grow.

In order to solve their goalscoring issues, Bremen have drafted in striker  Jovan Milosevic, who has already scored 16 goals for Partizan this season – just two short of Bremen’s total Bundesliga goal tally.

In other news, Naby Keita will no longer feature for the club after deciding to stay at Hungarian side Ferencvaros and turning his loan into a permanent deal.

On the injury front, Felix Agu, Victor Boniface and Mitchell Weiser are all expected to remain on the sidelines. 

Predicted lineup: Backhaus (GK), Friedl, Coulibaly, Pieper, Sugawara, Stage, Lynen, Grull, Schmid, Puertas & Milosevic

Last five matches

• Borussia Dortmund 3-0 SV Werder Bremen (Bundesliga)
• FC St. Pauli 0-0 SV Werder Bremen (Bundesliga)
• FC Augsburg 0-0 SV Werder Bremen (Bundesliga)
• SV Werder Bremen 0-4 VfB Stuttgart (Bundesliga)
• Hamburger SV 3-2 SV Werder Bremen (Bundesliga)

Eintracht Frankfurt preview: European dreams slipping away

Eintracht Frankfurt’s push for Europe has stalled in recent weeks, with the team managing just one win in six games – a slender 1-0 victory over a struggling Augsburg side.

The Eagles are still competing in the Champions League, though winning the competition does seem somewhat unrealistic. With that in mind, the team will be looking to make a serious push for the top four in the second half of the season as they look to bag another season of top flight European football.

On the injury front, there are doubts over new signing Younes Ebnoutalib. To compound their issues, Michy Batshuayi, Elias Baum and Timothy Chandler are also expected to remain on the sidelines. Top scorer Jonathan Burkardt is also a doubt.

Predicted lineup: Kaua Santos (GK), Amenda, Koch, Kristensen, Theate, Skhiri, Hojlund, Knauff, Bahoya, Doan & Kalimuendo

Last five matches

• VfB Stuttgart 3-2 Eintracht Frankfurt (Bundesliga)
• Eintracht Frankfurt 3-3 Borussia Dortmund (Bundesliga)
• Hamburger SV 1-1 Eintracht Frankfurt (Bundesliga)
• Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 FC Augsburg (Bundesliga)
• FC Barcelona 2-1 Eintracht Frankfurt (UEFA Champions League)

Player to watch: Ritsu Doan

Looking ahead to Friday’s fixture, Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Ritsu Doan is the man to keep your eyes on.

The Japanese star has already amassed nine goal contributions in the Bundesliga, including an assist against Stuttgart last Tuesday night.
