Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig preview: Ole Werner returns to the Weserstadion

Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig preview: Ole Werner returns to the Weserstadion Werder Bremen It seems like Werder Bremen were able to save themselves from doomsday in the final game before the international break. They made the trip to 17th place Wolfsburg with only four points separating the two sides. It was a true relegation battle, and the loser knew they’d be in big trouble in terms of the rest of the season.

As a result, the contest was a tight and tense affair. The hosts came out the blocks hot, having a greater share of the ball and flying into challenges. Bremen responded, staying solid at the back and looking for scoring opportunities when they could.

Then, in a moment, they struck. A deflected pass fell to Justin Njinmah, and his attempt on goal also took a deflection. Fortunately for him and for Werder, the ball ended up flying off the far post and into the back of the net.

It was less a moment of magic and more a bit of fortunate, but that didn’t matter to the team at all. The visitors locked up shop at that point, holding on at the back to secure the clean sheet and three monumental points. That put the Green-Whites seven points clear of the automatic relegation places, which should be too large of a gap to fall down with only seven games to go.
