Team News

Werder Bremen
Wolfsburg
  • Romano Schmid is available after suspension, while Dawid Kownacki is ruled out with a thigh injury.
  • Jens Stage, Mitch Weiser and Senne Lynen are all suspended after picking up five yellows.
  • Amos Pieper and captain Marco Friedl are both nearing returns from ankle injuries, but Niklas Stark is still ruled out with the same injury.
  • Patrick Wimmer is suspended for this one after his sending off before the international break, while Jonas Wind has a muscle problem.
  • Lucas Nmecha has suffered another thigh injury which might keep him out for the rest of the season.
  • Moritz Jenz and Yannick Gerhardt are both available after suspension, while goalkeeper Koen Casteels is battling a shoulder injury.

Prediction

  • Winless in 11 games and just two wins in their last 20 games, Wolfsburg have collected only 25 points, their worst ever tally to this point.
  • Bremen have scored in their last 13 games, but have lost their last three 2-1, but still look set for a fairly comfortable mid-table finish.
  • Defeat before the international break spelt the end of Nico Kovac's disappointing tenure with ex-Leipzig and Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhüttl taking over.
  • Wolfsburg have dropped an agonising 20 points after taking the lead this season; only Gladbach with 27 have let more points slip from their grasp.
  • The reverse fixture ended in a 2-2 draw and in a Northern derby with both teams in ropy form a share of the spoils is the call here.
