Werder Bremen-Bayer Leverkusen is a match valid for the 12th day of the Bundesliga and is played on Saturday at 3:30pm: TV, lineups, predictions.
Which Leverkusen will we see after the break? Will Xabi Alonso’s team continue to be the steamroller it has been so far or will it start to lose some altitude? Many are wondering after the Aspirins’ stunning start, who after 11 days lead the Bundesliga standings ahead of defending champions Bayern Munich, who have two points less than the Rossoneri.
In the last match, Bayer Leverkusen had scrambled Union Berlin (4-0), exacerbating the crisis of the capitols, who decided to exonerate coach Fischer during the break. Success came after the one obtained against the Azerbaijanis of Qarabag in the Europa League: there are now twelve consecutive victories between league and cup for Werkself, which has always and only won with the exception of the direct clash with Bayern Munich, the only team to stop Wirtz and his companions (2-2). Leverkusen that seemingly has no weak points, therefore, and the position in the standings certifies the excellent job that the former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich midfielder is doing since he has been at the helm of the historic German soccer club.
Werder unbeaten for three games
This weekend Xabi Alonso and his team are expected to face a tough away match in Bremen against a team that has gone undefeated in its last three matches.

Werder for the first time this season is finding some continuity: the success with Union Berlin (2-0) and the two draws (2-2) with Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt allowed Ole Werner’s green-and-whites to climb a few positions in the standings and move away from the third-last place. The Weserstadion, moreover, has so far been the stomping ground of only two teams, Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim. Werner should find Keita and Gross, both of whom are available again, while Alonso is likely to miss Frimpong, who returned early from the Netherlands’ training camp due to injury.
The prediction
Yes, it is true, there is the unknown of the break. However, it does not pay to go against this Bayer Leverkusen, which does not want to stop surprising. One can give Alonso’s Rossoneri confidence even though the one at the Weserstadion could be a more balanced match than expected, in which it would not be a surprise if the hosts also scored.
