For Werder, the story of the season has been inconsistency. They create just enough to stay dangerous but leak goals far too easily. Averaging 1.33 goals scored and 2 conceded per match, Horst Steffen’s side are exciting to watch but nerve-wracking to back. Their 2-2 draw in Heidenheim told the tale: twice in front, twice pegged back. That mental drop late in games is costly. Still, they’ve scored in all but one of their last five matches, and at Weserstadion, they tend to play with more courage. The question is, can they keep their heads when it matters?

Union Berlin arrive with slightly better numbers but face similar defensive cracks. Steffen Baumgart’s men concede an average of 2.67 goals per game, the kind of stat that makes any clean sheet feel like a miracle. Their 3-1 win over Gladbach last weekend was a breath of fresh air, showing a sharper, more fluid attack. But let’s be honest, consistency hasn’t been their strong suit either. Away from home, they’ve shipped nine goals in just three matches. That’s brutal. And yet, their spirit under Baumgart keeps them punching above their weight.

When these two sides meet, goals usually follow. Their last two encounters finished 4-1 and 2-2, both absolute rollercoasters. You can feel it coming again. Both teams are too loose at the back and too ambitious going forward to play for a cagey 1-0. It’s the kind of match where one quick counterattack can set the tone, and neither manager seems wired to settle for “safe.” Even if the first half is tense, the second half tends to explode. Fans better not blink after the 60th minute.

With Bremen’s attacking intent and Union’s unpredictability, a high-scoring match feels almost inevitable. The numbers back it up, the styles reinforce it, and the recent form confirms it. Expect energy, mistakes, and chances on both ends, the perfect recipe for entertainment. Our take? This fixture screams goals. That’s why the smart money’s on Over 2.5.
