Bayer Leverkusen vs Werder Bremen Betting Tips: Leverkusen & Over 2.5

Bayern Munich's meltdown at Heidenheim, where they squandered a two-goal lead at halftime to succumb to a shocking 2-3 loss, has put Leverkusen just three points away from their first-ever Meisterschale after their own hard-fought 1-0 victory over Union Berlin in the German capital.

On the verge of shaking off the unwanted moniker "Neverkusen", and with a clash already scheduled for silverware in the DFB Pokal versus Kaiserslautern on May 25, Xabi Alonso's merciless squad continued their quest for a treble midweek by seeing off West Hem 2-0 in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals.

Simply put, the Pharmacists swept aside last year's Europa Conference League winners and deserved a more emphatic victory than 2-0 as they dominated with 65% possessions and an incredible 33 shots attempted, but overall the result allowed them to extend their unbeaten run to 42 across all competitions (W37, D5).

Coming off the back of European success, the runaway leaders Leverkusen will look to round off the week in style to seal their Bundesliga crown as early as the 29th gameweek, and it's a tough ask for any top-tier side to stand in their way, particularly given their red-hot form with 13 triumphs from 14 competitive fixtures.

Werder aims to delay Die Werkself's championship celebrations as they can boast of avoiding defeat in four consecutive visits to the Bay Arena (W1, D3), but devising a new escape from failure presents a challenge that is tough to execute, given Alonso's side has won 13 out of their last 14 matches on home turf.

Furthermore, the River Islanders have been hit by a severe slump in results, as they picked up only their second point out of 18 on offer last Friday by holding Eintracht Frankfurt to a solid 1-1 stalemate, marking a halt to the bleeding after four consecutive disappointments in the German top-flight.

While they appeared ready for the European push at one point, a devastating run of form has led to their continental football hopes plunging deep, leaving the Bremen-based club with little motivation for the remaining six rounds of the season, as they lag behind fifth-placed Die Adler by an 11-point margin.

Under the baton of Ole Werner, the team showcased brilliant finesse in front of the goal, netting precisely one goal in all eight of their Bundesliga visits in 2024, and one of those solitary strikes helped them stun Bayern in the heart of Munich. With that in mind, Werder will be confident of rattling the net of the rotating Leverkusen side, but not so much to take anything from this trip because Alonso's men should have too much firepower to tuck one of the potential three titles into their pocket.
