Team News

Werder Bremen
Wolfsburg
  • Striker Niclas Füllkrug is battling an ankle injury, but US talent Joshua Sargent will probably start up front anyway.
  • Former Bayern defender Marco Friedl is available after suspension and will step in at the back.
  • Young talent Nick Woltemade has given Bremen a boost by extending his contract.
  • Patrick Erras could return to the squad after recovering from a hip injury.
  • Maxence Lacroix and Xaver Schlager are both available after suspension, but Paulo Otavio remains on the naughty step for three more games..
  • Renato Steffen is ruled out "long term" with an ankle injury, while Jerome Roussillon and Kevin Mbabu are both battling minor injuries.
  • John Anthony Brooks and Marin Pongracic violated COVID-19 protocols recently by attending a party. The defensive duo have been fined by Wolfsburg.

Prediction

  • Werder Bremen as expected lost to Bayern last weekend, but looked a decent side in patches.
  • Wolfsburg have proved very hard to beat this season and last weekend celebrated their biggest ever win under coach Oliver Glasner - 5-0 at home to Schalke.
  • Wolfsburg have a host of regulars back from suspension and are favourites to take the spoils in a hard-fought Northern Derby.
  • Both sides have racked up nine draws, struggling at times to turn one point into three, and double figures could beckon after this one.
