That's how they've played so far. Where the model has Werder Bremen finishing in May, and the odds on going down, come with a free account.
What the numbers say
Season to date, measured against the rest of the division.
Attack
Wasteful, not toothless
Scoring about 14% below what their shot volume supports. Finishing that far below the run rate usually corrects.
0.86
goals per expected
Attack
Picking their moments
26 of 55 on target, 47%. Fewer wasted efforts than most.
47%

Defence
Leaking goals
10 conceded in 5, 2.00 a game. No attack fixes that on its own.
10
conceded
Defence
They win the ball back
2nd in the division for tackles. A side doing that much defending is either pressing well or living without the ball.

They keep hold of it
