Defending champions face off against Die Werderaner
Werder Bremen will welcome Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen to their backyard in their eighth league game of the season. The River Islanders have failed to put in consistent performances, but have managed to get three wins in their last five encounters. They come into this game on the back of a thumping 2-4 victory over Wolfsburg away from home and will be aiming to continue their winning momentum.
Leverkusen on the other hand will be frustrated coming into this game after being held to a 1-1 draw against Brest in the Champions League. Xabi Alonso’s men have failed to keep a single clean sheet this season and haven’t looked as good as last season. Moreover, they have dropped points from a winning position in three of their last five games.
