Stadium: Bay Arena (Leverkusen)
08.03.2025 17:30
Bundesliga action returns as Bayer 04 Leverkusen welcomes SV Werder Bremen to the BayArena on Saturday, March 29, 2025. This matchup pits two teams on opposite ends of the Bundesliga spectrum, with Leverkusen in the thick of a title race while Bremen battles to avoid the drop. The hosts have been a juggernaut this season, notching 55 goals in 24 games and averaging 2.3 goals per game. At home, Leverkusen’s defensive mettle has been equally impressive, conceding just 0.8 goals per game in the league. Xabi Alonso’s side remains unbeaten in their last six encounters with Bremen, winning four and drawing two.
Werder Bremen, by contrast, arrives at the BayArena in dire straits. The Green-Whites have lost four consecutive away matches, conceding 3.0 goals per game on their travels. Bremen’s attack, hampered by injuries to Marvin Ducksch and Marco Friedl, has mustered just 0.8 goals per game away from home. The visitors’ last win against Leverkusen came back in 2018, making this fixture an uphill battle.
With Leverkusen’s attack in free flow and Bremen’s defensive vulnerabilities glaring, the odds overwhelmingly favour the home side. However, Bremen’s survival instincts could make them a tricky opponent if they can weather the early storm. This game holds significant implications at both ends of the table, with Leverkusen aiming to consolidate their title push and Bremen desperate for points to escape the relegation zone.

Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen have been the Bundesliga’s torchbearers this season, coupling defensive solidity with clinical attacking prowess. The Werkself have netted 55 goals in 24 league outings – an average of 2.3 goals per game – and are spearheaded by the prolific Patrik Schick with 16 league goals. Supporting him is the mercurial Florian Wirtz, whose creativity has yielded 9 goals and 2 penalties. Leverkusen’s metronomic possession game, averaging 58.3%, allows them to dictate proceedings, while their defensive resilience is underlined by only 0.8 goals conceded per game at home. However, with key absences like Odilon Kossounou and Martin Terrier, the depth of the squad will be tested.
SV Werder Bremen
Bremen’s campaign has been marred by inconsistency. Ole Werner’s men languish near the relegation zone, having lost four of their last six league games. The Green-Whites have been porous at the back, shipping 3.0 goals per game on their travels. With Marvin Ducksch sidelined, the goalscoring burden falls on Jens Stage, who leads the club with 7 league goals. Bremen’s average possession of 50.8% reflects their tendency to play reactively rather than proactively. Defensive frailties, combined with a lack of cutting edge in front of goal, make them vulnerable against elite opposition.
