Werder and Paderborn to serve up a thriller
Werder and Paderborn look to be two teams who should have plenty of joy on the German top tier in 2026-2027, but both Die Werderaner and Die Ostwestfalen will be desperate to improve their recent form.
SV Werder Bremen currently sit 6th in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 table with 8 points from their first 5 matches and have looked much the more impressive side with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in their last 5 competitive games.
Daniel Thioune's men won 3-2 at home against Augsburg and drew 2-2 away to Borussia Dortmund in the most recent fixtures and the 2-2 draw in the friendly match between these two clubs in Friendly Club Matches 2026.
SC Paderborn 07 are 15th with 4 points from 5 games and they come into this fixture after a mixed run of results that has seen Ralf Kettemann's side win 2 and lose 3 of their last 5 matches.
The 0-2 defeat at home to Stuttgart last time out followed a 1-0 away win at D.C. United in a friendly, but Paderborn have looked good at times and will be encouraged by a trip to Bremen where they can get more joy on the counter attack.
Back the hosts to have a field day
Bremen are the heavy favourites at 1.84 and the odds on the draw at 4.26, with Paderborn available at 4.21.
Werder have been ruthless at home in Bundesliga 2026/2027 with 6 goals from 2 matches and we think they should have too much for Die Ostwestfalen here, although the visitors have the pace and pressing power to cause problems on the break.
So our best bet is to go with the hosts to win what should be a fairly open match as two contrasting styles clash at the Wohninvest WESERSTADION.
Both teams to score market looks live at 1.51, but Over 2.5 goals at 1.5 is also a fit given the vertical threat of Werder and the transition play of Paderborn.
Sticker can spark Paderborn counter attacks
Niclas Fuellkrug is Bremen's main man and he leads their scoring charts with 3 Bundesliga goals from 4 games, while his total across competitive and non-competitive matches is 4 from the last 5.
Marco Gruell is pulling the strings for Die Grün-Weißen and he has 3 Bundesliga assists in 4 games already, helping to orchestrate much of Bremen's vertical threat.
Santiago Castaneda is Paderborn's highest scorer in Bundesliga 2026/2027 with 1 goal from 4 matches, but Kettemann's men need more bite in the final third.
Jonah Sticker can offer some spark for Paderborn though, having registered 1 assist in 3 Bundesliga games so far and he will be key to the transition game of the visitors.
