Team News

Union Berlin
Werder Bremen
  • Captain Christopher Trimmel broke his nose and will be assessed nearer the game.
  • Striker Taiwo Awoniyi is ruled out with a thigh injury, while Niko Gießelmann is over a shoulder injury. Leon Dajaku has tested positive for COVID-19 and also has a foot injury. Sheraldo Becker has gone under the knife for an ankle injury.
  • Loris Karius has lost his spot in goal to Andreas Luthe, who was missing last month due to personal reasons. The Liverpool loanee performed well though after stepping in for his first Bundesliga game in well over four years.
  • Christopher Lenz is nearing a return from a muscle injury, but striker Anthony Ujah has had yet another operation because of a long-term knee issue.
  • Swede Ludwig Augustinsson is suffering with groin pain and will be assessed nearer the game.
  • Striker Niclas Füllkrug is nearing a return from a broken toe, while Christian Groß is back from suspension.
  • Ömer Toprak has a back injury and will be out for several weeks. Milos Veljkovic is over a thigh injury, while Maximilian Eggestein is available after suspension.
  • Young talent Nick Woltemade has ligament damage, but Patrick Erras could return to the squad after recovering from a hip injury.

Prediction

  • Union have already surpassed last season's 41 points and have only lost once all season at home.
  • Werder Bremen have reached the German Cup semi-finals, but have lost a club record six straight games in the Bundesliga to slide down the table.
  • It's meeting of two draw specialists - Union Berlin have 13 and Bremen nine and that could be the solution here as Bremen look to end their losing run.
