Team News

Werder Bremen
Leverkusen
  • Skipper Marco Friedl is available after suspension. Milos Veljkovic is struggling with a foot injury, while Justin Njinmah is nearing a return from an ankle injury. Anthony Jung is doubtful with a leg injury, while Marco Grüll has a nasty flesh wound from a bad tackle last weekend.

  • Victor Boniface missed the CL game due to "emotional shock" after a car accident, while Amine Adli is likely to miss the rest of the year with a fractured fibula.

Prediction

  • Xabi Alonso's record-breaking champions sit in fourth, just three points off the top of the table despite showing some early season rust.
  • Bremen have not won at home in stark contrast to their strong away record with three wins.
  • Leverkusen easily did the double over Bremen last season (3-0 5-0) and can prevail once more.
