Preview

Match preview

Werder Bremen enter round six of the Bundesliga sitting seventh in the standings with eight points from their opening five fixtures. The hosts have maintained a perfect home record so far, winning both matches at the Weserstadion with an average of three goals scored per fixture. Their attack has been spearheaded by Niclas Fullkrug, who has found the net four times, alongside Marco Grull with four assists.

SC Paderborn 07 find themselves near the danger zone in 15th place with four points from five outings. Scoring has been a persistent issue for the visitors, who have failed to score in four of their five matches this season, including both of their away league fixtures. While Paderborn collected a 3-1 win over Hoffenheim, their away trip to Dortmund ended in a 3-0 defeat, highlighting their struggles to produce chances on the road.

Both teams carry notable injury lists into this clash, with Bremen missing ten players and Paderborn missing five. Despite Bremen's defensive vulnerability, having conceded in every league match so far, their attacking output at home gives them a clear advantage against an opponent yet to register a goal away from home in the league.

Werder Bremen have displayed strong attacking form on home turf, winning both of their home fixtures against RB Leipzig and FC Augsburg while scoring six goals in the process. SC Paderborn 07 have suffered three defeats in five matches and have yet to score away from home in the league, with a 3-0 loss at Dortmund and zero away goals recorded. Although Bremen have sustained a lengthy injury list that could limit their defensive solidity, their superior firepower led by Fullkrug positions them well to take at least a point. Head-to-head history also trends towards high-scoring encounters, with 77.8 percent of their nine previous meetings seeing over 2.5 goals.
