VfL Wolfsburg vs Werder Bremen
Die Wolfe are one of the few teams who are yet to lose in this 2020/21 Bundesliga season, and now they stake their streak when they host Werder Bremen this Friday night.
By going undefeated in their first eight fixtures, Oliver Glasner’s men sit at the sixth spot of the standings with 14 points, and a favourable result here could push them up to the top four.
Three notches below them are Werder Bremen, who currently have 11 points and are level with VfB Stuttgart, Augsburg, and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Their confidence is high after going toe-to-toe against Bayern Munich and holding them to a 1-1 draw, although it would’ve been much better if they had not squandered their early advantage.
These two proud sides will look to move further up in the standings for a chance to be in contention for at least a Europa League spot in the next term.
Prior to this season, neither were backed by the SBOTOP betting tips to be where they are, but their promising starts offer optimism for their fans.
Both are expected to go after each other’s heads in what will be a testy affair, which should give football fans something to look forward to this weekend.
Talking Points
VfL Wolfsburg have an intriguing young nucleus
Like Bayer Leverkusen, Die Wolfe remain undefeated this term because of their grit, physicality, and toughness.
Oliver Glasner’s men have been unshakeable particularly on the defensive end, as they’ve only conceded five goals so far – which is the league’s best mark.
But while they are solid at the back, VfL Wolfsburg would need to improve their attack as they have only found the back of the net nine times.
Two of those came from last week’s win over Schalke as Wout Weghorst and Xavier Schlager added one goal apiece.
Weghorst remains their top dog out front with four goals and one assist. However, he will need to draw out more production from his teammates if they want to achieve their goals.
Oliver Glasner will have his work cut out for him to motivate his core full of young players as they will be thrown into the fire on a weekly basis.
So far, the likes of Josip Brekalo, Ridle Baku, and Xavier Schlager have responded with three goals and one assist between them, and developing them further should serve them well moving forward.
Werder Bremen to bring back key players
Wins continue to elude Werder Bremen for the past few weeks in what was a theme of missed opportunities.
Die Werderaner have recorded five straight draws over that span, and most of them came against teams who are placed lower in the Bundesliga table.
After feeling the frustration of their failures to close out, Florian Kohfeldt’s men surprised everyone in the last time out when they held Bayern Munich to a 1-1 draw.
While the said game didn’t produce much Bundesliga 2020 highlights, it still gave Werder Bremen a huge confidence boost since it ended their 22-game losing streak against the defending champions.
Werder Bremen have some good news about their lineup as Milot Rashica is progressing well after his early-season injury, while Niclas Fullkrug could follow after missing their last four games due to injuries.
History
Die Wolfe and Die Werderaner have played in 46 games prior to this weekend’s clash.
Werder Bremen own the slight advantage in the overall head-to-head with 20 wins while VfL Wolfsburg won in 16 along with 10 draws.
These two figured in a low-scoring match during their previous meeting last June. Die Wolfe came away with a 1-0 win because of Wout Weghorst’s screamer during the 82nd minute.
Team manager Oliver Glasner is hopeful to achieve the same feat this weekend, although they have yet to beat Werder Bremen on their home pitch for more than three years.
