RB Leipzig vs Werder Bremen

RB Leipzig have not lost any of their seven Bundesliga home games against SV Werder Bremen (W6 D1); the Saxons have only faced Freiburg, Augsburg and Mönchengladbach (9 times each) more often at home without losing once. However, the previous season was the first time Leipzig failed to win at home against Bremen (1-1 in May 2024).

With 25 points, SV Werder Bremen are playing their best Bundesliga season in 13 years, the last time they had this many points after the first 15 games in the top flight was in 2011-12 (26). Bremen have won their last three league games, the last time they won four in a row was at the turn of the year 2014-2015 (5).

RB Leipzig have lost four of their last seven Bundesliga games (W2 D1), which is as many defeats as the Saxons have conceded in their previous 30 games in the top flight. Leipzig has only had fewer than the current 27 points after the first 15 games of a Bundesliga season in 2021-22 (21; 2017-18 also 27).

SV Werder Bremen have not won their first game after the winter break (D1 L2) in their last three Bundesliga seasons; the last time they did so in four consecutive campaigns was from 1989 to 1992. RB Leipzig have been waiting for such a win since 2022 (4-1 against Mainz back then, D1 L1 afterwards); previously, the Saxons had never gone two seasons in a row without winning the first top flight game after the winter break.

SV Werder Bremen have won nine Bundesliga games away from home in the 2024, the last time they won this many and ever only more was in 2006 (10). Bremen managed six of these away victories without conceding a goal, the highest number of such wins for them in the top flight in a single calendar year.
