Entracht’s memorable 24/25 season will surely remain in the hearts and minds of its fans, but the question is, can they maintain or even surpass that level? We will have answers soon, but the first obstacle will be Werder Bremen, who have improved with each passing season, since earning their promotion to the Bundesliga back in 2021/22.
Eintracht Frankfurt Team News
Surely, it will be a big boost for Eintracht to start their season at home. Last season, the team was the third-best host in the league, accumulating 34 points as opposed to 26 on the road. Now, the Eagles will also feature in the UCL, but that might be at the cost of their domestic form. Despite losing star Hugo Ekitike, Eintracht has moved in to secure the services of Jonathan Burkardt and Ritsu Dōan, while also retaining key players like Mario Götze, Ansgar Knauff and Robin Koch, who has also been named the team’s new captain. With a solid 0-5 win in the DFB Pokal, Eintracht have won their first official game of the season and will be looking to do the same against Werder as well.
Werder Bremen Team News
Despite showing clear signs of improvement with each passing season, this campaign might be a different one for Werder. For starters, there was a change in management, with Horst Steffen now at the helm. Secondly, his tenure at the club started with a surprising and unsavoury defeat in the DFB Pokal against Arminia Bielefeld. With a defeat in the team’s first official fixture of the season, coupled with nothing but losses during the pre-season fixtures, things aren’t looking exactly bright for Werder, who will have to start their campaign against one of the toughest hosts last season.
Head-to-Head-Games
The matches between Eintracht and Werder have been close in recent seasons, as evidenced by the results – 2 wins for Eintracht, 2 draws and 1 win for Werder across the last 5 meetings between them. As hosts, Eintracht have won 3 of their last 5 fixtures against Werder.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Werder Bremen Betting Prediction
My pick here is for an Eintracht win. Last season, they were one of the best hosts and accumulated a significant amount of points at home. Moreover, the troubled start that Werder has had, along with the change in management, works in Eintracht’s favour. H2H statistics also point to the fact that the Eagles are highly likely to secure the 3 points here.
