Team News

Werder Bremen
Wolfsburg
  • Eduardo Dos Santos Haesler could return from a bruised skull, while Amos Pieper returned to defence in midweek following an ankle problem.
  • Felix Agu is ruled out with a patella tendon injury until next month, while Romano Schmid has a knee injury.
  • Nicolas Cozza has arrived from Montpellier HSC, and Paulo Otavio is available after suspension.
  • Lucas Nmecha is nearing a return from a knee injury which ruled him out of the World Cup, while Josip Breklao is close to a return as well, after his injury.
  • Mattias Svanberg will probably replace Felix Nmecha, who is struggling with a thigh injury.

Prediction

  • Wolfsburg are flying under Niko Kovac, winning six Bundesliga games in a row, scoring 21 and only conceding once.
  • Promoted Bremen have lost four in a row, including a 7-1 drubbing in Koln. They enjoy 24 hours less rest and recuperation, and remain winless against Wolfsburg in four meetings.
  • A fairly routine win for the in-form Wolves in a Northern derby is the play.
