Werder Bremen – Eintracht

The visitors will take at least a draw from Bremen

The final game of the fourth round of the Bundesliga will be played in Bremen at the Weserstadion on Sunday evening. The local club were 'visiting' in the Second Bundesliga last season, but quickly returned to the elite, where they have an obvious plan to establish themselves. The visiting team were among the headliners of the European football season last year, winning the Europa League, and taking part in the European Super Cup. That said, Eintracht's status does not reflect favourably on their results in the new season. Bookmakers in Bremen expect an uncompromising clash, with no club singled out as favourites. Werder did not shine on the transfer market in the off-season, signing a large number of free agents. In addition, the "musicians" retained their core squad, which struggled last season in the second division. Werder started the current season with a 1/32 final of the German Cup, beating Energa 2-1. August in the domestic league was very productive for the Bremen. They drew with Wolfsburg and Stuttgart 2-2 on aggregate, and the encounter with Borussia Dortmund "risked" making history for the club in particular and the Bundesliga in general. At the Bumblebees' stadium, the home side were 2-0 up by the 89th minute but left the field less than eight minutes later in a 2-3 defeat. For Eintracht, the last summer month was less rosy, with the cup victory over Magdeburg being their only official match of the season to date. They lost the European Super Cup to Madrid 0-2, and the Bundesliga opener against Bayern Munich fell apart 1-6. The German Champions League participant began to return to the mundane side as early as the subsequent encounters with Hertha and Cologne, which ended with the same score of 1-1. It is worth noting that Glasner made active use of the players who joined the team in the off-season: Götze, Kolo-Muani, Jakic and others. Eintracht's poor results could be attributed to a certain lack of preparation in the squad. We are betting that Eintracht will take at least one point away from Bremen.
