Prediction

  • Four-time Bundesliga champions Bremen have all week to plot a shock, while Leverkusen must recover from Champions League action on Wednesday.
  • Xabi Alonso's record-breaking champions sit in fourth, just three points off the top of the table despite showing some early season rust.
  • Bremen have not won at home in stark contrast to their strong away record with three wins.
  • Leverkusen easily did the double over Bremen last season (3-0 5-0) and can prevail once more.
