Team News

Werder Bremen
FC Koln
  • Bundesliga top scorer Niclas Füllkrug is struggling with a calf problem. Dikeni-Rafid Salifou is ruled out with a foot injury and Felix Agu needs an op on a nagging patella tendon injury.
  • Amos Pieper needs an ankle operation and will miss the rest of the campaign, while Christian Gross has a knee problem.
  • Benno Schmitz is available after suspension, while Davie Selke went off with concussion last weekend but should be available. Florian Dietz suffered an ACL injury and will be missing for several months, while Mark Uth remains on the sidelines after a pelvic operation.

Prediction

  • Koln have played on two successive Fridays, winning both to easily retain their top flight status.
  • Promoted Bremen have only picked up a single victory in their last 10 Bundesliga games and still need another point to secure their own status for another term.
  • Bremen will seek to avenge a 7-1 savageing in the reverse fixture and this Koln side has the most draws in the league (11) so that's the most likely scenario here.
