Prediction

  • Werder Bremen are enduring their second worst season in their long Bundesliga history, and have lost eight of their nine Bundesliga games.
  • Bremen are desperate for a win to probably secure their Bundesliga status for another season and pressed the panic button by sacking coach Florian Kohfeldt with a game to go.
  • Thomas Schaaf, Werder's wily coach from 1999 to 2013 takes over for this vital game.
  • A Werder defeat and a Koln win on the final day would mean automatic relegation.
  • Gladbach have relinquished a league-high 29 points from winning positions this season and are battling only for the potential joys of a Europa Conference League spot, not the greatest of leaving presents from coach Marco Rose before he departs for BVB.
  • Neither of these two sides can be backed with any confidence, but Gladbach may just raise their game for Rose's last game in charge.
