The team of Werder Bremen faces a match of the 17th round of the Bundesliga against a poor performing in away games team of Nürnberg. Only two points separates these two teams in the standings and definitely the hosts will try to achieve a clear win in this match. So far Werder showed no consistency, alternating wins and losses. After a convincing victory over Hoffenheim with 1:4 as a guest, in the next round they lost to Eintracht with the same result. As far as Nuremberg are concerned, recently they are not performing well in their away matches as the team lost five of their last six away games.
Philipp Bargfrede is injured for Werder and misses this meeting, while for Nürnberg with injuries are Adam Hlousek, Alexander Stephan and Markus Mendler. In the last four home games of Werder there have been over 2.5 goals scored. Last season, Nuremberg presented a surprise and took the three points in their visit to Bremen. Bearing in mind that a few losses can result in the team getting very close to the relegation zone, the guests will be fighting very hard even for the point in this game.
The expected development of the match is that Werder will dominate the game as fully controlling the possession of the ball, while the guests will try to make the most of every decent chance they have. Bearing in mind that the ambitions of the hosts are for much better ranking from the 12th position they occupy at the moment and the fact that they are only 5 points away from the sixth position, Werder will press hard for the three points in this match.
