Neither side has managed more than four league wins this season, but recent head-to-heads have supplied plenty of goals and drama. Kick-off is at 14:30 on Saturday 28 February, where Werder\u2019s superior home midfield threat meets a Heidenheim side still searching for their first clean sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Based on both teams\u2019 defensive records and attacking inefficiencies, here are our top betting recommendations for this match.

Werder Bremen to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/5 @ Betfred<\/a>
(55.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWerder Bremen have scored more goals and produced more assists this season, while Heidenheim have yet to keep a single clean sheet. Bremen\u2019s midfield has delivered 11 goals, and they boast higher possession and pass accuracy. Heidenheim\u2019s poor defensive record on the road gives Werder a crucial edge.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Under 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n6\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(45.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBoth teams average just about one goal scored per match, and recent league form suggests attacking struggles. Werder Bremen\u2019s expected goals (xG) is significantly below Heidenheim\u2019s, but the actual conversion is similar. With little to separate them in attack and both sides desperate for points, a cagey affair could be on the cards.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
