Average Goals Scored:2.0 goals/game

Average Goals Conceded:1.8 conceded/game

Current Form:LWLDW

Werder Bremen’s recent form across all competitions reflects significant defensive vulnerabilities that opponent transition units continue to exploit. Conceding 1.8 goals per game on average, Bremen’s defensive shape often buckles when pulled out of position by rapid ball circulation. While their offensive outputs remain respectable at 2.0 goals per game, their high line leaves excessive space behind the wing-backs, making them particularly susceptible to vertical counter-attacks against elite opposition.
