RB Leipzig have not lost to Werder in three meetings. Can Bremen’s Wohninvest Weserstadion change that?
Werder Bremen arrive at this fixture having lost three of their last five, a run that includes a 3-0 home defeat to Bayern München and a loss at St. Pauli. RB Leipzig, meanwhile, have gone unbeaten across all three meetings in this fixture’s recent history. The gap between the sides, in both form and head-to-head psychology, is real. Saturday’s match at the Wohninvest Weserstadion asks whether Bremen can finally reverse that trend on home soil.
Match Details
- Venue: Wohninvest Weserstadion, Bremen
- Date: 4 April 2026
- Referee: Not confirmed
Current Form
Werder’s 2W 0D 3L return across their last five matches tells a story of a side that can produce when confidence is high but buckles under pressure. The 4-1 away win at Union Berlin showed they have genuine attacking bite, and the 2-0 home victory over Heidenheim suggested some defensive solidity was returning. Then came Mainz 05 at the Wohninvest Weserstadion, a 2-0 defeat at home that stripped away the optimism those two results had built.
Leipzig are a more settled proposition. Their 2W 2D 1L record over the same period includes a 2-2 draw at home to Borussia Dortmund and a 2-1 away win at Hamburger SV. The only blemish was a 1-0 loss at VfB Stuttgart. That is the form of a side that does not panic, does not collapse, and rarely gifts opponents the kind of foothold Bremen will need to exploit.
Key Players to Watch
The most compelling individual story on the pitch belongs to Christoph Baumgartner. With 10 goals and 7 assists in 25 appearances this season, he is Leipzig’s most complete attacking force, ranking 13th in the Bundesliga for goals and 15th for assists. He averages 2.4 shots per game and has created four big chances. Against a Werder side that has conceded goals in three of their last five, he is the man who shapes Leipzig’s attacking rhythm.
Yan Diomande matches Baumgartner’s goal tally with 10 of his own, and his 10 big chances created across the season underline just how dangerous Leipzig’s forward line is in combination. Rômulo adds a third dimension: 7 goals and 5 assists in 22 games, averaging 2 shots per match. Bremen’s defensive unit will spend most of the afternoon managing three separate threats rather than concentrating on one.
David Raum, meanwhile, is Leipzig’s most creative player by volume. His 17 big chances created this season rank him 15th in the entire Bundesliga, behind only Florian Wirtz and Granit Xhaka. His output from wide areas is a constant source of danger that Bremen’s right flank will need to contain.
For Werder, Jens Stage is the side’s top scorer with 7 goals in 24 appearances. He has taken 45 shots and won 121 duels, the kind of numbers that reflect a player who works hard to be involved rather than one who waits for the perfect opportunity. Romano Schmid has been the creative engine: 7 assists and 16 big chances created this season rank him 13th and 17th respectively in the Bundesliga. If Bremen are going to cause Leipzig problems, Schmid’s ability to unlock spaces will be central to it.
Season Stats Comparison
The individual statistics paint a picture of a Leipzig side with significantly more firepower at the top end. Baumgartner and Diomande both sit on double figures for goals. Stage leads Bremen’s scoring charts with seven. The gap in chance creation at the highest level is meaningful, and it frames this match as one where Leipzig’s quality in the final third is the central tactical question.
| Stat | Werder Bremen | RB Leipzig |
|---|---|---|
| Top Scorer | Jens Stage (7 goals, 35th in Bundesliga) | Christoph Baumgartner (10 goals, 13th in Bundesliga) |
| Top Assister | Romano Schmid (7 assists, 13th in Bundesliga) | Christoph Baumgartner (7 assists, 15th in Bundesliga) |

Head to Head
Three meetings, two Leipzig wins, one draw, zero victories for Werder Bremen. The sample is small enough that it cannot be called a pattern of dominance, but it is consistent enough to matter. Leipzig have not been beaten in this fixture across the recent record, and they carry that knowledge into an away trip to a ground where Bremen’s supporters will be desperate to see it end differently.
Last time they met
When these sides last faced each other in November 2025, it was Leipzig who were the hosts and they were ruthless. A 2-0 win at the Red Bull Arena left Werder with nothing to show from the fixture, and the result underlined the one-sided nature of recent meetings. Werder will be acutely aware that they have yet to find an answer to Leipzig across these three encounters.
Team News
No injury concerns have been reported for either side ahead of this fixture. Both squads appear to be available in full, which removes any mitigating factor for either manager and places the outcome squarely in the hands of form, tactics, and individual quality on the day.
The absence of any notable absentees means Leipzig will be able to call on their full complement of attacking options. For Werder, a clean bill of health is the best possible news given the quality they are facing, but it also removes any excuse for a below-par performance.
Closing Paragraph
Werder Bremen have the home crowd, a fully fit squad, and two recent wins to draw on as evidence that they are capable of competing at this level. RB Leipzig have Baumgartner, Diomande, Rômulo, and a head-to-head record that has yet to produce a single defeat. The central question on Saturday is whether Bremen can finally break Leipzig’s hold on this fixture, or whether the visitors’ attacking depth proves too much for a side that has won only twice in five. Everything points to the answer arriving in the second half, when legs tire and margins become decisive.
