Team Form and Analysis for Werder Bremen
Domestic Form and Season Performance
Werder Bremen, under manager Horst Steffen, have shown admirable resilience following a tough opening to the season. They enter this match in the top half of the Bundesliga table with 12 points, sitting just four points shy of the European places.
The Green-Whites are currently enjoying a four-match unbeaten streak in the league, consisting of two wins and two draws. Crucially, their recent success has been built on their performance at the Weserstadion, where they have secured back-to-back 1-0 victories against St. Pauli and Union Berlin. This newfound defensive solidity is a significant improvement, reflected in their ability to shut down opponents at home. While their overall goal difference remains negative, their recent results suggest a growing mastery of the manager’s system and a determination to grind out results.
Key Player: Jens Stage
Midfielder Jens Stage is arguably the most influential player in the Werder Bremen squad, contributing both defensively and offensively. He is currently the team’s top goalscorer in the Bundesliga with three goals this season. Stage’s late equaliser in the recent 1-1 draw against Mainz highlighted his importance in critical moments. His work rate in midfield, aerial presence, and ability to break into the box are crucial elements that power Werder’s improved form.
Team Form and Analysis for VfL Wolfsburg
Domestic Form and Season Performance
VfL Wolfsburg’s season, in contrast, has been marred by inconsistency and a distinct drop in performance following a strong start. The Wolves currently sit in the lower half of the Bundesliga table with 8 points.
Paul Simonis’s side has struggled immensely in recent weeks, recording four losses in their last five league fixtures, including a 2-3 home defeat against Hoffenheim in their last outing. Their only win in this period came against a lower-ranked team, highlighting their struggles against more established opposition. This run of poor results has severely undermined their confidence. Their key weaknesses have been exposed defensively, and they will need to address their vulnerability on the road to secure a positive result in Bremen. Injuries to key players, including Jesper Lindstrom and Kevin Paredes, further complicate their tactical approach.
Key Player: Mohamed Amoura
Forward Mohamed Amoura has been a bright spot in a difficult period for VfL Wolfsburg, leading the team with four goals in the Bundesliga this season. The pacey Algerian international provides a significant threat in transitions and has been one of the few players consistently delivering goals. Amoura’s movement and finishing will be vital if Wolfsburg is to exploit the spaces created by Werder’s forward pressing, offering their best chance to disrupt the home side’s defensive organization.
Head-to-Head Record between the Teams
The head-to-head history between Werder Bremen and VfL Wolfsburg suggests a tightly contested, high-scoring rivalry, though Wolfsburg holds a slight historical edge.

The rivalry has been evenly matched in recent years, with both sides winning two and drawing two of the last six encounters. The last meeting saw VfL Wolfsburg secure a 2-1 victory at the Weserstadion in March 2025, but Werder had won the preceding encounter with a convincing 4-2 scoreline. Historically, both sides have scored an almost equal number of goals against one another, underlining the competitive nature of this match-up.
Players to Watch
Werder Bremen
Victor Boniface (Forward): The forward, on loan from Leverkusen, provides immense pace and an effective focal point in attack. His energy and ability to create chances, despite limited scoring output so far, will keep the Wolfsburg defence stretched.
Romano Schmid (Midfielder): The attacking midfielder is the team’s top creator, leading in both assists and chances created. His technical quality and vision will be crucial for unlocking the visiting defence.
VfL Wolfsburg
Maximilian Arnold (Midfielder): The experienced captain is the heart of the Wolfsburg midfield. His leadership, tackling ability, and impressive passing range will be essential for controlling the tempo and breaking up Werder’s build-up play.
Mattias Svanberg (Midfielder): The central midfielder is known for his energy and all-action style. His ability to press high and win the ball back will be key to disrupting Werder’s midfield duo and initiating quick counter-attacks.
Prediction
Werder Bremen’s recent home form and growing confidence provide them with a distinct advantage in this mid-table contest. Wolfsburg’s poor run of results, particularly their vulnerability in defence (conceding 16 goals in nine matches), makes them susceptible to Werder’s improved attacking efficiency. While Wolfsburg possesses individual quality, their current lack of cohesion and mounting injury concerns are likely to be exploited by a highly motivated home side. Expect a tense match, but Werder Bremen’s current momentum at the Weserstadion should be enough to secure a valuable victory and push them closer to the European spots.
