Team News

Werder Bremen
RBL
  • Felix Agu is ruled out with a patella tendon injury, while Milos Veljkovic was feeling an Achilles problem against Bayern and had to be taken off.
  • World Cup hopeful Niclas Füllkrug could return from a back injury, but Jean-Manuel Mbom has a torn Achilles and is ruled out.
  • Abdou Diallo got injured in the warm-up in midweek and remains a doubt, while his replacement in that game Josko Gvardiol broke his nose.
  • Timo Werner is ruled out of the World Cup after suffering a syndesmosis joint tear in his left ankle. Goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi suffered an ACL injury and Konrad Laimer underwent surgery on a ligament injury.

Prediction

  • Bremen have 24 hours more recovery time than Leipzig, but will probably need it after a 6-1 thumping at Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
  • Leipzig have the best home record in the Bundesliga and remain 12 games unbeaten in all comps, buoyed by five wins in a row.
  • Promoted Bremen have scored five goals in added time this season so will play to the final whistle.
  • Leipzig can get the job done to continue their serene progress up the table.
