Today's Predictions for Schalke vs Werder Bremen
Schalke have lost three of their last four Bundesliga assignments ahead of their tussle with Werder Bremen on Saturday. Read our top Werder Bremen vs Freiburg predictions for this weekend’s fixture below.
Contents
Both Teams to Score
Schalke’s defence has been alarmingly leaky in recent weeks and the relegation candidates have shipped 11 goals in their last four Bundesliga fixtures alone. Werder Bremen will fancy their chances of breaching that brittle backline on Saturday, though both teams have notched in 100% of their last seven league games, and that record suggests a clean sheet for the visitors is unlikely. An open contest looks probable in this one and our first Schalke vs Werder Bremen recommends a stake on both teams to score with that in mind.
Marvin Ducksch to Score Anytime
Marvin Ducksch has really picked up the mantle in the absence of Werder’s leading marksman Niclas Fullkrug. The 29-year-old scored a superb hattrick last weekend in Bremen’s emphatic 4-2 win at Hertha Berlin, taking his tally for the campaign up to 11 in the process. Duksch should be brimming with confidence following his trio of strikes and he looks like a good option in the anytime goalscorer market again on Saturday.

Predicted Lineup for Schalke: Schwolow – Matriciani, Jenz, Kaminski, Uronen – Kral, Latza, Karaman, Drexler, Bulter, Terrode
Werder Bremen
Werder striker and leading scorer Niclas Füllkrug has a calf injury that should keep him out for another few weeks, while Felix Agu and Leonardo Bittencourt are also sidelined. Milos Vejkovic has a knock at the back though he should recover in time to feature.
Predicted Lineup for Werder Bremen: Pavlenka – Stark, Vejkovic, Friedl – Weiser, Groß, Schmid, Stage, Jung – Ducksch, Philipp
Player to Watch – Anthony Jung
Anthony Jung has been a potent chance-creator from his left wing-back berth for Werder Bremen this season and the 31-year-old grabbed his fifth assist of the campaign when he set up a goal against Hertha Berlin last weekend. Jung has chipped in with seven goal contributions (2G, 5A) overall this term and his pinpoint delivery could be a feature of Saturday’s game.
