Team News

Werder Bremen
Union Berlin
  • Ex-Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita is struggling with a calf problem, Niklas Stark has problems with his adductors and Amos Pieper is struggling with a muscle injury.
  • Goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka is struggling with adductor problems as well.
  • Josip Juranovic is doubtful with a knock, András Schäfer is on his way back from a foot operation.
  • Laurenz Dehl is ruled out with a knee injury, while Robin Gosens has a knock too which needs to be monitored.

Prediction

  • A meeting of two struggling sides. Bremen have lost their last three in the Bundesliga, and Union have lost their last six.
  • Bremen have all week to prepare, while Union lost again in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.
  • Bremen are yet to draw this season with both of their wins coming on home soil.
  • Union have lost nine games in a row in all comps and have failed to keep a clean sheet this season.
  • Both teams should find the net, but back Union, who have scored eight of their 10 goals this season via headers, to snatch a vital win
