My Prediction
Werder Bremen by 1Looking at our Bundesliga matchup with Holstein Kiel squaring off against Werder Bremen, this promises to be a little more than your casual Sunday park kickabout.
Starting with the shot-stoppers, we've got Michael Zetterer between the sticks for Werder Bremen bringing a 6.77 rating and a hoard of 8 saves this season. On the other end, we've got Timon Weiner for Holstein Kiel who might as well go by 'brick wall' with his 6.9 rating padded with 7 saves.
For the players at the sharp end, Werder Bremen boasts of offensive firepower in the form of Romano Schmid and Mitchell Weiser. Schmid has been simply swashbuckling with a solid 7.85 rating, pinging two goals into the net. Weiser hasn't been found wanting either with a 7.7 rating and a goal to boot. André Silva is providing a sterling support as well, showcasing his expertise with a 7.3 rating and a goal under his belt.
Holstein Kiel might be viewed as the underdogs, but discount them at your peril. Steven Skrzybski and Nicolai Remberg have been doing their utmost to steer the team clear of the doldrums. Skrzybski has been simply sublime with a 7.3 rating and a dual-goal haul while Remberg has been ticking things over nicely with a 7.17 rating.
Looking at the history books, during their last encounter, Werder Bremen narrowly clinched it 2-1. As for the season records, Werder Bremen come in with the confidence of 9 wins, 6 draws and 11 losses while Holstein Kiel languish behind with 4 wins, 5 draws and a cringe-inducing 17 losses. Just glancing at the recent run of results, one can't help but conclude that Bremen have been on a rollercoaster, while Kiel still seem to be searching for the ignition key.
So, all said and done, if you've got a coin, keep it in your pocket. We won't need the toss, Werder Bremen looks primed for a victory here.
