-----------------------------
Eintracht Frankfurt face a crucial Bundesliga clash at Weserstadion against Werder Bremen, with defeat threatening their Champions League ambitions. The visitors sit seventh, six points behind third-placed RB Leipzig and having played an extra match. Bremen, in 13th place, are looking to recover after a heavy 3-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund.

Team Analysis:
Werder Bremen are struggling offensively, failing to score in their last three games and facing a tough run against top-eight opponents. Eintracht Frankfurt have also been inconsistent, conceding heavily but scoring more in recent matches than earlier in the season. Both teams will look to improve results, with Bremen trying to end a winless streak and Frankfurt seeking to break their poor away form.

Player Situation:
Werder Bremen will be without defenders Maximilian Wober and Niklas Stark, with Coulibaly, Friedl, and Pieper likely to start in central defense. Key midfielders Jens Stage and Senne Lynen are expected to feature, while Frankfurt’s Hugo Larsson is a doubt due to illness. Both teams face challenges upfront, with Bremen missing Batshuayi and Burkardt and Ansgar Knauff potentially filling in, and Frankfurt relying on Robin Koch in a central defensive role.

Result Prediction:
Both Werder Bremen and Eintracht Frankfurt have struggled for form in recent weeks, making the outcome hard to predict. Bremen’s strong home record suggests they could at least secure a draw. Frankfurt will need to overcome their recent inconsistencies to challenge for a win.

Predicted Result: Werder Bremen 1-1 Eintracht Frankfurt.
