My Prediction
Werder Bremen by 1Ooh, we have this classic Bundesliga match between Werder Bremen and Union Berlin to warm us up this winter. Pour yourself a mug of mulled wine; this one will be interesting.
Bremen's goalie, Michael Zetterer, has been having a sterling season with a rating of 7.38 and a swag of 12 saves, which beats his counterpart in the Berlin camp, Frederik Rønnow, who’s on a 6.65 rating with 9 saves. They might want to reconsider keeping him in front of the net...
Union Berlin's top players certainly have some displayable numbers, considering Robert Skov with an impressive rating of 7.55, not to mention his 1 goal and 2 shots on goal. András Schäfer isn't any less impressive with a 7.27 rating and slightly more accuracy in his passing. Let's not forget about Danilho Doekhi either, scratching the surface with a 7.17 rating and a goal to his credit.
On the Werder Bremen front, we’ve got Jens Stage gallivanting around the field with a 7.53 rating and 2 goals, while Marvin Ducksch is delivering his all with a 7.48 rating and a goal. Outstanding stuff really.
Taking into account their past showdowns, it seems like a cordial game of catch. Union Berlin nabbed two wins while Werder Bremen pocketed one with the other game ending in a tie.
Looking at the hard numbers, Bremen is currently sitting prettier with their 6-4-4 record, overcasting Union Berlin's slightly dodgy 4-5-5 run. Berlin hit a bit of a pothole recently with a string of unfortunate match outcomes, while Bremen managed to chug along pulling decisive wins.
Oh, did I mention that you’ll see fewer trees in a Christmas tree farm after Christmas than the goal action we’re going to see here? Expect some real nerve-wracking competition.
