*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Holstein Kiel are rock bottom of the Bundesliga and have won only four times in 26 attempts since August. Unsurprisingly, Holstein Kiel are 11/5 underdogs ahead of their latest test on Saturday.

Werder Bremen are hovering in mid-table limbo and having won only twice in 11 fixtures before the international break, they represent little value at 21/10 to triumph on Saturday. Read more of our latest football predictions and analysis on our dedicated page.

Player to watch – Jens Stage

Jens Stage has been enjoying the most productive campaign of his career in 2024/25 and the 28-year-old Danish midfield has the tools and confidence to make another match-changing impact on Saturday.

Stage to take centre stage again?

Attacking midfielder Stage has already chipped in with a career-high seven goals and five assists in the Bundesliga this season and has been notching a goal involvement every 129 minutes for his club. Stage looks like a potential match-winner for Werder Bremen again this weekend.
