Team News

Werder Bremen
RBL
  • Head Coach Ole Werner will stick to his tried and trusted starting line up.
  • Milos Veljkovic has a calf problem, but barring late injuries, Werner has almost a full-strength squad to call on.
  • The likes of Silva, Ducksch, Njinmah, Burke, Grüll and Topp are all useful options up top.
  • El Chadaille Bitshiabu is available after supsension, but both David Raum and Kevin Kampl are on the naughty step after picking up five yellow cards.
  • Péter Gulácsi is expected to return after suffering a nasty concussion recently, while skipper Willi Orban was only able to train individually in recent times and may not be risked. Amadou Haidara is ruled out with a knee injury.
  • Benjamin Henrichs is ruled out after suffering an ACL injury, while Xaver Schlager will be out for several weeks with a thigh problem.

Prediction

  • Bremen are pushing for European qualification, moving up to eighth after a six-game unbeaten run, and can also boast the most away wins, apart from the runaway top two.
  • Leipzig boast a league-high 14 clean sheets this season, but have let slip 16 points from winning positions this term, with a league-high 11 draws holding them back as well.
  • Bremen have not beaten Leipzig in nine attempts (7 losses, 2 draws).
  • The reverse fixture finished 4-2 in Leipzig's favour, and we back the east German side to do their first double over a side this season with BTTS.
