Werder Bremen<\/a> and Hamburg<\/a> face off in a high-stakes northern derby with both sides sitting just above the Bundesliga<\/a> relegation zone and desperate for points in the closing weeks of the campaign. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With both teams locked on 32 goals for the season and only three points separating them in the table, the margins could hardly be finer. Kick-off is at 14:30 on Saturday 18 April, as the Weserstadion braces for a fixture that could define each side\u2019s run-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on both teams\u2019 identical attacking return but Hamburg\u2019s superior defensive record and shot efficiency, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We’re particularly confident in the value on Hamburg in the main result market, given Bremen\u2019s defensive frailties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hamburg to win<\/strong><\/td>\n14\/5 @ matchbook<\/a>
(26.3%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Hamburg to win because they have conceded seven fewer goals than Bremen this season and boast a better shot accuracy (42.8% vs 36.8%). Bremen have only won 7 of 29 this term and look vulnerable defensively, giving value to the away win odds.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both teams to score – No<\/strong><\/td>\n11\/8 @ matchbook<\/a>
(44.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWith neither team boasting prolific forward options and both managing six clean sheets this season, there is an edge for ‘No’ on BTTS. Recent meetings have also seen at least one side blank on the scoresheet more often than not.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n
