---------------------------------
SV Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen, coached by Ole Werner, is preparing for the 2025-26 Bundesliga season after finishing 9th in 2024-25. They won 6-0 against FC Verden 04 in a friendly on July 18, 2025, at Stadion am Berliner Ring, with 5,500 fans in attendance, showing attacking prowess. Their pre-season form includes 2 wins and 1 loss, averaging around 2.5 goals scored and 1.0 goal conceded per game. Key players include Marvin Ducksch (top scorer in 2024-25), Mitchell Weiser (wing-back), and goalkeeper Michael Zetterer. Werder’s strengths are their attacking fluidity and home form at Weserstadion, but defensive lapses in friendlies remain a concern. They aim to build momentum for their Bundesliga opener against Eintracht Frankfurt on August 16, 2025.
Cerezo Osaka
Cerezo Osaka, led by Akio Kogiku, is gearing up for the 2025 J1 League season after a mid-table finish in 2024. They lost 2-1 to Bayern Munich in a friendly on July 20, 2025, with Rafael Ratão scoring. Their form shows 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last five, averaging 1.6 goals scored and 1.4 goals conceded. Key players include Ratão (11 goals in 2024), Lucas Fernandes (14 assists), and goalkeeper Jin-Hyeon Kim. Cerezo’s strengths are their counter-attacking pace and Fernandes’ playmaking, but their away form (0.83 points per game) and defensive inconsistencies are weaknesses. They seek to test their squad for their J1 League opener.
Head-to-Head
Werder Bremen and Cerezo Osaka have no prior meetings, making this their first encounter. Friendlies between Bundesliga and J1 League sides often average over 2.5 goals, with 60% both teams scoring (BTTS), due to open play and squad rotations.
Predicted Score: Werder Bremen 2-1 Cerezo Osaka
This friendly on July 24, 2025, at Weserstadion, Bremen, at 3:00 PM CEST (9:00 AM EDT), is part of Werder’s pre-season preparations, per web sources. Werder’s Ducksch and Weiser face Cerezo’s Ratão and Fernandes, with Werder’s home advantage likely testing Cerezo’s weaker away defense. Werder are favorites (-120 odds) over Cerezo (+280), with a draw at +230, per web sources. Trends (Werder: 70% over 2.5 goals; Cerezo: 60%) suggest a goal-heavy game. The 20°C afternoon and friendly context should keep cards low. Werder is likely to score through Ducksch, with Ratão possibly netting for Cerezo. Werder’s home form and attacking depth should secure a narrow win, though Cerezo’s counter-attacks keep it close.
