Team News

Wolfsburg
Werder Bremen
  • Skipper Josuha Guilavogui, a key cog in the works, is ruled out again with a thigh injury.
  • Kevin Mbabu has recovered from a knee injury while William is nearing a return to the squad after battling back from an ACL injury.
  • Koen Casteels has shaken off a knee injury and the versatile Ridle Baku has impressed since joining from Mainz.
  • Marin Pongracic will return to training on Thursday after his bout of COVID-19, while Josip Brekalo is available again after his own run-in with the virus.
  • Joao Victor could return to the squad after overcoming adductor issues, while Renato Steffen has also recovered from COVID-19.
  • Striker Niclas Füllkrug is still out with a calf injury, but Ludwig Augustinsson and Davie Selke could return.
  • Denied a move away, Milot Rashica will look to impress ahead of the next transfer window.
  • Injury-prone centre-back Ömer Toprak has returned from a nagging calf problem, but Milos Veljkovic has adductor issues.

Prediction

  • Wolfsburg have an unblemished record in the Bundesliga with five draws and three wins.
  • Werder Bremen have drawn five games in a row by the same 1-1 scoreline, including a fantastic result last weekend away to champions Bayern.
  • Games involving these Northern rivals have been bereft of goals this season, Wolfsburg's games have seen 14 goals and Bremen's 20.
  • Crucially, Wolfsburg do not have the poison chalice of Europa League football this season and can nick the three points in a low-scoring North Derby.
