Team News

Werder Bremen
Bochum
  • Head Coach Ole Werner has at least a few more options at his disposal after overcoming a recent injury crisis.
  • Milos Veljkovic has a calf problem, while keeper Michael Zetterer did miss training earlier this week due to illness.
  • 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.
  • Ivan Ordets and Matus Bero are both suspended after picking up five and 10 yellow cards respectively.
  • Mats Pannewig or veteran Anthony Losilla could replace the latter.
  • But barring late injuries, boss Dieter Hecking will likely keep faith with the bulk of the side that has risen off the bottom of the table and shocked Bayern recently as well.

Prediction

  • Bremen have moved up to ninth after three wins in a row, while Bochum have lost four in a row to sit precariously one off the bottom of the table.
  • Bochum came back from two goals down to win 3-2 at champions-elect Bayern recently, while Bremen have won twice as many away games as they have managed at home.
  • The reverse fixture ended 1-0 in Bremen's favour, and we back the four-time champs to do the double with goals at a premium.
