Team News

Union Berlin
Werder Bremen
  • András Schäfer has suffered a reoccurrence of a foot injury and is ruled out, while Robin Knoche should return after missing last weekend through illness, but barring late injuries coach Urs Fischer has an almost full strength squad at his disposal.
  • Jens Stage is on the naughty step after picking up five yellows, while Bundesliga top scorer Niclas Füllkrug is struggling with a calf problem.
  • Dikeni-Rafid Salifou is ruled out with a foot injury and Felix Agu needs an op on a nagging patella tendon injury.
  • Mitchell Weiser has a muscle injury, while Amos Pieper needs an ankle operation, and skipper Christian Gross has a knee problem.

Prediction

  • Fourth-placed Union lead Freiburg on the same points immediately below them by a goal difference of four, and need another convincing win to nail down a Champions League qualification spot.
  • Promoted Bremen have only picked up a single victory in their last 11 Bundesliga games, but have somehow secured their own status for another term.
  • A win is crucial for the home side, but Union may have to settle for a share of the spoils with so much at stake.
