The home team head into this clash on the back of a poor run of Bundesliga form, as they have won just one of their previous six games in the German top-flight. However, they have earned four points from their last two matches in the league.
The fact that Werder has conceded at least two goals in five of their last six matches in the Bundesliga has undoubtedly not helped their consistency, however.
The poor recent league form has seen Werder drop to 15th place in the table. They may be looking over their shoulders slightly nervously at the bottom three as they are just three points above the relegation play-off spot.
Werder’s recent home form has been poor, as they have won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five league games on home soil.
They have also been prolific on home soil in the Bundesliga, having recorded four wins in their previous five home games.
Die Roten Bullen head into this game in impressive form, as a 3-1 home win over Hoffenheim last time out was their fourth straight victory, and it was their fifth straight game in all competitions in which they had scored at least two games.
Leipzig’s recent record in the Bundesliga has been strong, as they have won four of their five previous league matches, scoring at least two goals in all four wins.
Marco Rose’s team have a decent recent away record in the German top flight, winning four of their last six matches in the Bundesliga. A 3-2 win at Dortmund was another high-scoring outing on their league travels.
