Werder Bremen 1-4 Bayer Leverkusen Prediction and Betting Tips | Bundesliga

Werder Bremen – Bayer Leverkusen betting tips for today, May 18, 2020

Match Preview

• Werder Bremen entered May with the joint-worst form in the five-game league table (D1, L4). Each of those five games saw Bremen lose the second half ‘to-nil’, and do so specifically by a 2-0 scoreline in three (a 60% majority) of them.
• The hosts additionally enter this clash after a flush run of six home league defeats, the last five of which saw them fail to score altogether. The last three of those, meanwhile, saw Bremen concede all of their goals against in the second half (GF 0, GA 7).
• In stark contrast, Leverkusen have won nine (D1) of their last ten competitive matches, with at least 50% of the total match goals arriving in the second half of eight wins therein. Each of the last six games in that run (W5, D1) contained an even number of total goals.
• On that note, Leverkusen’s split of first vs second-half goals has been exactly 50/50 in three (75%) of their last four league victories. Meanwhile, their last three away league games won/drawn have seen them specifically draw one half 1-1.
• Stat attack: Yūya Ōsako netted a decisive brace (including the last goal) in Bremen’s most recent Bundesliga home win (W 3-2). In turn, three of his last four strikes have flown in beyond the hour mark.
• In two of Leverkusen’s last three competitive wins, the duty of scoring the decisive goal has fallen to Charles Aránguiz, via goals beyond the hour mark.
• Stat attack: Bremen have conceded an average of 1.4 goals per-match beyond the hour mark across their last five league defeats.
• Leverkusen have not trailed at the half-hour mark in any of their last eight Bundesliga away games.
• The last three individual halves of H2H action have produced a 1-1 scoreline.
