Werder Bremen would be looking to get into the top half of the Bundesliga table when they play host to Bayer 04 Leverkusen on Sunday.
The Green and Whites come into this match on the back of a 2-1 defeat to FC Augsburg, which was their third in four games that they were on a losing side. Nevertheless, Ole Werner's side will be encouraged ahead of the game by the fact that they have avoided defeat in each of their last three encounters with Leverkusen.
After a shaky start to 2023, the visitors now seem to have found their groove. Leverkusen come into this one the back of two successive wins, scoring a total of six goals in the process. Despite the offensive prowess of Xabi Alonso's men, their back line remains a major problem. They have finished only one of their last nine games without conceding a goal, which means the probability of them finishing this game without a clean sheet is quite high.
Werder Bremen vs Bayer Leverkusen Betting Tips: BTTS
When it comes to matches between Werder Bremen and Bayer 04 Leverkusen, goals are guaranteed. In six of the last seven direct encounters, a bet on "both teams to score" was a win.
Werder won only once in this period, but since they drew four times, we can't rule out the possibility of them taking at least a point from this match. However, we believe that the guests have enough quality to take home all three points in what should be a close game.

Bayer Leverkusen will see Amine Adli, who saw a red card against Mainz over two weeks ago, serve the last of his three-game suspension.
The visitors' list of absentees also includes Andrey Lunev and Charles Aránguiz who are nursing back and calf injuries respectively.
Patrik Schick is pushing for a return to the starting eleven, but he is unlikely to replace Diaby.
