Best Bet for Werder Bremen vs Bayer Leverkusen
Bologna to win and under 2.5 goals | |
23/10 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Lecce’s defensive frailties and lack of firepower meet Bologna’s away-day issues, making a narrow away victory the most logical and valuable play for punters. | |
The Bundesliga rolls into its second weekend with a fascinating fixture at the Weserstadion, where Werder Bremen welcome Bayer Leverkusen. Both sides endured frustrating starts to their campaigns: Bremen were battered 4-1 by Eintracht Frankfurt, while Leverkusen fell 2-1 at home to Hoffenheim in Erik ten Hag’s first league match in charge. Neither camp is entirely settled, and that uncertainty is what makes this clash intriguing.

Werder were tipped by many to push for a European place this season, but their opening day display was flat, creating just 0.53 xG and looking soft at the back. Injuries have not helped either, with Marco Friedl only just returning to fitness and a string of others still absent. Leverkusen, meanwhile, are adjusting to life after Xabi Alonso, and Ten Hag has his work cut out trying to maintain their attacking verve while patching up gaps left by injuries of his own.
Recent meetings between these two have been full of drama, with Leverkusen holding the edge overall but Bremen showing they can cause an upset. Both sides are desperate to get points on the board, and with neither looking entirely stable, we should expect a game with goals and nerves on show.
Best Bet for This Match
Here at BettingTips4You, we believe in quality over quantity. That’s why we are going with one clear best bet for this clash: Both Teams to Score.
The reasoning is straightforward yet powerful. Bremen, despite their awful opener, are usually reliable in front of their own fans. They have scored in six of their last eight home league matches, and Marco Grüll alongside Romano Schmid offer enough creativity and movement to trouble Leverkusen’s reshuffled backline. The issue is that Bremen rarely keep things tight, and conceding 11 goals across their last five competitive fixtures is hardly the sign of a side built on resilience.
Leverkusen, even in defeat, looked dangerous when pushing forward. Patrick Schick remains the spearhead, while Nathan Tella and Ibrahim Maza provide the attacking link play behind him. With Alejandro Grimaldo and Ernest Poku marauding down the flanks, Ten Hag’s side should find plenty of joy exploiting Bremen’s defensive frailties. They have also scored in seven consecutive Bundesliga away games, proving they travel with intent.
The historical record supports this pick too. Three of the last six meetings between these sides have seen both score, and with both managers likely to prioritise attacking transitions over defensive consolidation, it’s difficult to see either team shutting the other out.

“Neither of these sides are wired for cagey football right now. Bremen can’t defend for ninety minutes, and Leverkusen always carry a goal threat. BTTS looks the banker here.
For the correct score market, a 2-1 away win for Leverkusen feels the most plausible outcome. Bremen can get on the scoresheet, but Leverkusen’s superior depth and attacking options should tilt it in their favour.
