Team News

Werder Bremen
Union Berlin
  • Eduardo Dos Santos Haesler could return from a bruised skull, while Amos Pieper looks set to return to defence from an ankle problem.
  • Felix Agu is ruled out with a patella tendon injury until next month, while Romano Schmid has a knee injury.
  • Diogo Leite is available after suspension, while Sven Michel has recovered from the flu. Andras Schafer is battling a foot problem, while Morten Thorsby has had a stomach operation.
  • Julian Ryerson's departure will be filled by the signing of Josip Juranovic from Celtic. Left-back Jerome Roussillon has signed on a free from Bundesliga rivals Wolfsburg.

Prediction

  • Union have proved formidable on home soil this season, but their away form left a lot to be desired before the winter break.
  • Promoted Bremen will have to bounce back from a 7-1 drubbing in Koln, but have scored five goals in added time this season so will play to the final whistle.
  • A narrow win for Union would not be a surprise here.
