The Weserstadion will be the stage for an intriguing Bundesliga encounter as Werder Bremen hosts 1. FC Union Berlin on Friday, October 24, 2025. This Matchday 8 fixture kicks off at 19:30 with referee Daniel Schlager in charge. Both teams are positioned in the middle of the table with Werder Bremen sitting in 12th place with 8 points from their first seven matches, while Union Berlin are slightly better off in 9th position with 10 points.

Our Expert Betting Recommendations for This Match
Looking at the current form and statistics of both teams, we have prepared two carefully considered betting tips for this Bundesliga clash. For our first sports betting tip, we're backing a home win for Werder Bremen with odds of 2.22 at 1win. Despite their mid-table position, Bremen have shown resilience at the Weserstadion this season with a respectable home record of one win, one draw, and one defeat. Their recent 2-2 draw against Heidenheim demonstrated their fighting spirit, and with the home crowd behind them, they should have enough to overcome Union Berlin.
Our second football betting tip for today's match is that both teams will score, available at 1.65 with Paripesa. This prediction is well-supported by the fact that both sides have been consistently finding the net this season. Their last direct meeting ended in a 2-2 draw, and with both teams averaging over 1.5 goals per game while also showing defensive vulnerabilities, we expect goals at both ends of the pitch in this encounter.
Analyzing the Best Betting Odds for Bremen vs Union Berlin
For those looking to place bets on this Bundesliga encounter, several bookmakers are offering competitive odds. For a home win (Tip 1), 1win provides the most attractive odds at 2.22.

Werder Bremen Finding Their Footing Under Steffen
Werder Bremen's campaign has been a mixed bag so far, accumulating 8 points from their first seven matches with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 3 defeats. Their goal difference of 11:16 indicates both offensive capability and defensive concerns. At home, they've managed a respectable record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 defeat, suggesting the Weserstadion provides them with a slight advantage.
Coach Horst Steffen has been working to establish consistency in his squad, and there are signs that his methods are beginning to bear fruit. Bremen's recent performances show promise, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 defeats in their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing resulted in a hard-fought 2-2 draw away to Heidenheim, demonstrating their resilience and ability to recover from difficult situations.
The team has shown they can be dangerous going forward, averaging over 1.5 goals per game. However, their defensive record is a concern, having conceded 16 goals already this season. If they can tighten up at the back while maintaining their attacking threat, Bremen could start climbing the table in the coming weeks.
Union Berlin Showing Signs of Improvement Under Baumgart
Under the guidance of coach Steffen Baumgart, Union Berlin have made a relatively solid start to their Bundesliga campaign, sitting 9th in the table with 10 points from 7 matches. Their record of 3 wins, 1 draw, and 3 defeats, along with a goal difference of 11:14, suggests they're a competitive mid-table outfit with potential to push higher.
Union's away form has been somewhat patchy, with 1 win and 2 defeats on their travels. This inconsistency on the road could be a factor in Friday's encounter at the Weserstadion. However, their overall recent form has been encouraging, with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 defeat in their last five matches across all competitions.
Their most recent outing saw them secure an impressive 3-1 home victory against Borussia Mönchengladbach, showcasing their attacking prowess and tactical discipline. This result will have boosted confidence within the squad as they prepare for the trip to Bremen.
Baumgart has been working to establish a balance between defensive solidity and attacking threat. While they've conceded 14 goals, their tally of 11 scored indicates they have the firepower to trouble most Bundesliga defenses. If they can maintain their recent momentum, Union could be dark horses for a European place this season.
The Last Direct Duels Between Bremen and Union
Looking at the head-to-head record between these two sides over their last five meetings across all competitions, Werder Bremen have a slight edge with 2 victories compared to Union Berlin's 2, with 1 match ending in a draw. The most recent encounter resulted in a 2-2 stalemate, highlighting the competitive nature of this fixture.
These matches have typically been closely contested affairs with goals at both ends. The even distribution of wins suggests there's little to separate the teams historically, though home advantage has often played a significant role in determining the outcome.
The 2-2 draw in their last meeting epitomizes the attacking intent both sides tend to show when facing each other, with defensive frailties also evident. This pattern of high-scoring, evenly matched contests provides context for our betting predictions, particularly the expectation that both teams will find the net on Friday.
Match Prediction: Home Advantage Could Be Decisive
After analyzing both teams' current form, head-to-head record, and respective strengths and weaknesses, we believe Werder Bremen hold a slight edge in this encounter. The home advantage at the Weserstadion should prove significant, especially considering Union Berlin's inconsistent away form this season.
While both teams have shown they can score goals, Bremen's home record suggests they'll be able to capitalize on familiar surroundings to secure a valuable three points. Union's recent impressive win against Mönchengladbach indicates they'll be no pushovers, but their defensive vulnerabilities on the road could be their undoing.
We expect an entertaining, goal-filled encounter with both teams finding the net, but ultimately Werder Bremen should have enough quality to emerge victorious. Our prediction of a home win at odds of 2.22 represents good value, as does our second tip that both teams will score at 1.65.
