📋 Team News: Werder Bremen

Amos Pieper (Ankle injury), Justin Njinmah (infection) and Skelly Alvero (Shoulder injury) won’t be able to feature for Werder Bremen gaffer Ole Werner.

In our view, Werder should go for a 3-4-2-1 system for this one, handing starts to Michael Zetterer, Milos Veljkovic, Marco Friedl, Anthony Jung, Mitchell Weiser, Felix Agu, Jens Stage, Senne Lynen, Romano Schmid, Nick Woltemade and Marvin Ducksch.

📋 Team News: Gladbach

Gladbach manager Gerardo Seoane has to currently contend with reduced team options. Tony Jantschke (strain), Maximilian Wöber (Torn muscle fiber), Shio Fukuda (Capsule rupture), Grant-Leon Ranos (Ankle injury), Christoph Kramer (infection), Simon Walde (Syndesmotic ligament tear) and Mamadou Doucouré (muscular problems) are not ready for selection.

We reckon that Gladbach could decide to make use of a 3-4-3 lineup by sending out Moritz Nicolas, Marvin Friedrich, Nico Elvedi, Fabio Chiarodia, Stefan Lainer, Julian Weigl, Ko Itakura, Joseph Scally, Franck Honorat, Alassane Plea and Robin Hack.
