Werder Bremen takes on Borussia Monchengladbach at Weserstadion this Sunday, in the last match of the German Bundesliga third round.
Werder Bremen failed to impress so far this season, getting blown out 3-0 at home by Schalke in the first round before drawing 1-1 at Hertha in a rather poor match. Defense looks as bad as always for Werder, but so far the offense is not clicking either – as new signings Aron Johannsson and Anthony Ujah seem unable to replace the departed Franco Di Santo, who left to Schalke 04.
Gladbach is an even worse spot than Werder right now, after losing both games so far in the Bundesliga. If a 0-4 first round defeat at the hands of Dortmund was somewhat forgivable, the 1-2 home loss to Mainz that followed was a big downer for last year’s third placed team. The visitors know that they can`t afford to lose any more points, as it could very well cost them a Champions League spot in a very competitive division.

Team news & lineups:
Bartels will very likely miss the game for Werder, while Yildirim, Garcia, Lorenzen and Wolf are definitely out. Gladbach will have to do without Dominguez and Johnson.
Werder Bremen: Wiedwald – Selassie, Vestergaard, Lukimya, Garcia – Fritz, Bargfrede, Junuzovic – Eggestein – Ujah, Johannsson
Monchengladbach: Sommer – Korb, Jantschke, Schulz, Wendt – Traore, Nordtveit, Xhaka, Herrmann – Stindl – Drmic
The losses of Kramer and Kruse in the transfer window seem to have hurt Gladbach, but the replacements (Drmic, Stindl) are of good quality and it looks like a matter of time until Borussia will click again. This is a good opportunity to do so, because Werder Bremen did not look good at all in the first two rounds. Gladbach can surely score a couple here against a poor defense, while Werder did not look too good up front and if they don`t play a good game, they may well go scoreless. My tip is a Gladbach win with a -0,25 asian handicap. Good odds at Pinny for this bet. Prediction: Werder Bremen – Borussia Monchengladbach 1-2.
Pick: Gladbach (-0,25 Asian Handicap)
