Bitesize Prediction: Kiel vs Werder Bremen – 29/03/25

Competition: Bundesliga

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 2/3 @ 1xBet

Hoping to make up some ground un the top-half charge, Werder Bremen will travel to the Holstein-Stadion when they meet Kiel on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, while Kiel might have made their Bundesliga return this season, Marcel Rapp’s side have drastically failed to deal with the steep leap up in class. Marking their return from March’s international break sat rock-bottom of the table, the Storks find themselves sat eight points adrift of safety and pencilled in as a landslide relegation contender in 2025. Heading into the fortnight interval with a 3-1 drumming at the hands of Heidenheim, the former Hoffenheim coach has seen his squad muster just a single win from any of their previous nine Bundesliga appearances. With that rut stemming back to a famous 4-2 victory against Borussia Dortmund on January 14th, Kiel have continued to show some rather glaring defensive issues. Including another 3-1 defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt last month, Saturday’s hosts have conceded 64 Bundesliga goals this season and hold the worst defensive tally among Germany’s elite.

As for the visitors, heading into March’s international break with an action-packed 4-2 defeat at home against Borussia Monchengladbach, Werder Bremen find themselves at the heart of their own nightmare rut. Almost sat in Bundesliga limbo, the River Islanders have come under some serious scrutiny since returning from Germany’s festive break. Watching their DFP Pokal adventure come to a shock end last month as they suffered a 2-1 loss against third-tier outfit Bielefeld, Ole Werner’s men have now lost six of their previous seven appearances across all competitions. Getting Match underway with another 2-1 defeat against Wolfsburg, Saturday’s guests are desperately seeking some kind of boost. However, despite their woeful run of form, Bremen will take some solace from their most recent showdown against Kiel. Landing a 2-1 win when they welcomed the Storks to town back on November 9th, we could be treated to another enjoyable Bundesliga battle this weekend.
