The 33rd matchday in the Bundesliga is the penultimate matchday and for many teams there is seemingly nothing left to play for this season, while others are still fighting to avoid relegation.

Find out who has the advantage in this duel in our Leipzig – Bremen betting tip.
Leipzig traveled to Sinsheim to face TSG Hoffenheim on the last matchday. The game got off to a slow start, with scattered chances on both sides. Leipzig then managed to take a 1-0 lead shortly before half-time to end a rather meagre first half. After the break, Leipzig were much more passive and were even weaker after Xavi was sent off. The 1:1 equalizer in the 90th minute was very frustrating from Leipzig’s point of view, but thoroughly deserved.
Bremen had to face Gladbach at home last weekend. However, they missed the opening phase completely and were 1-0 down after just eight minutes. However, the goal had an effect and Werder became more alert and active. They created some good chances and managed to score the important equalizer in the 45th minute.
After the break, the game flattened out a little and it was a set-piece that Bremen took the lead in the 65th minute. The decision to award Bremen a penalty, which Gladbach confidently converted to make the final score 2:2, was particularly bitter, but nevertheless correct. Thanks to this draw, Bremen have now also mathematically secured their place in the league

Leipzig Form & Balance Check
Leipzig are currently in very good form. They have won four and drawn one of their last five games. However, the draw against TSG last week was a bit of a damper. Nevertheless, RB have already qualified for next season’s Champions League and are now unbeaten in nine games. They are still the team with the best form in the Bundesliga and will be looking to continue their unbeaten run.
Home strength
The Bulls feel at home in their stadium. They have won eleven and drawn three of their 16 matches, and have only been beaten twice. This record of defeats is the third lowest in the entire league. With the resulting 36 points, they are currently fourth in the home table. Especially against Werder Bremen, they have an even better home record than they already do
Leipzig facts & analysis
- The strongest team in the Bundesliga
- Fourth place in the table
- Last match draw
Bremen Form & Balance Sheet Check
Bremen have been on a strong upward trend in recent weeks. They have won two and drawn two of their last five games, only losing once against Leverkusen. This puts them in eighth place in the form table and they are currently just three points off the international places in the overall table. A few weeks ago, Bremen were still worried about relegation and now they could even make it onto the European stage
Horror result against Leipzig
One thing stands in their way, however: their own past. Their record away from home in Leipzig is nothing short of horrendous. In the six away games they have played against Leipzig, they have failed to pick up a single point and have even gone goalless in three of those encounters. With a goal difference of 4:15 from Bremen’s point of view, Ole Werner’s team now head into their next away assignment
Bremen facts & analysis
- Never won in Leipzig
- Place eleven in the table
- Last game a draw
Marco Rose will line up in his usual 4-4-2 this weekend. He will be without Xavi (suspension) and Schlager (cruciate ligament rupture). In Schlager’s place, Seiwald will probably move into the center and Baumgartner could take on the attacking role. Kampl is also an option. Otherwise, nothing will change in terms of personnel.
Bremen will also start with their usual formation. They will start the game in a 3-4-2-1. Ole Werner will probably still be without Pieper (ankle injury), so there will be no changes in central defense. The coach is also unlikely to make any other changes compared to last week
Leipzig – Bremen head-to-head & stats
