Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig prediction

THE FORECAST

RB Leipzig starts as favorites given their generally higher quality and Champions League ambitions, but they are dealing with a significant injury list (seven players out, including Baumgartner, Klostermann and Nyland) which considerably affects their rotation depth. Werder Bremen has had a busy transfer summer with many changes and is still looking for reinforcements in crucial positions, meaning the team is also not operating at full strength. The weather conditions (moderate, light rain, 15 km/h wind) are neutral and do not particularly disadvantage either playing style.
