RB Leipzig vs Werder Bremen prediction 23.11.2025 | Bundesliga

RB Leipzig look like the only group remotely close to Bayern in terms of consistency this season, although calling them true title challengers still feels premature.

Werner’s men shook off that ugly opening-day defeat with four straight wins, then got held to a draw by Dortmund, only to build another strong run immediately after.

The problem is that each time Die Rotten Bullen seem to settle, a result like the 3-1 loss to Hoffenheim pops up and reminds everyone that they still lack a steady rhythm. Their saving grace has been home form, since every point they have dropped this season came on the road.

Benjamin Henrichs remains sidelined with an Achilles problem, while Kosta Nedeljkovic, Viggo Gebel and El Chadaille Bitshiabu also continue their recovery from injuries.

Bremen opened the season with a messy 4-1 defeat at Frankfurt, and for a short while it looked as if the defensive issues from last year had never gone away.

Fourteen goals conceded in the first five matches made it even harder to tell where the ceiling of this squad really was. Over time, though, Ole Werner’s men have found a bit more balance, arriving in Leipzig unbeaten in four and with wins over St. Pauli, Union Berlin and Wolfsburg.

The sticking point is that none of those victories came away from home, which makes this weekend feel more demanding than the form line alone suggests.

Die Werderaner travel without Maximilian Wöber and Salim Musah, both dealing with hamstring injuries, alongside long-term absentees Mitchell Weiser, Olivier Deman and Felix Agu.
