Werder Bremen are going through a rough patch. They haven't won any of their last five matches, drawing three and losing two, and they've been letting in goals fairly easily. Hamburger SV are a bit up and down too, with a couple of wins and a few heavy defeats in their recent games, so neither team looks especially steady right now.

Their recent meetings have been full of goals, with both of the last two games ending three goals to the loser's one or two, so this one could well be lively and open. Because Bremen's form is poor and they've struggled in these matchups lately, Hamburger SV look the likelier winners here, though it may still be a close contest.
