ℹ️ Team News: Werder Bremen
Leon Opitz (Ankle injury) and Naby Keïta (Ill) won’t be able to feature for Werder Bremen gaffer Ole Werner.
In our view, Werder will probably kick off with a 3-5-2 system, beginning the first half with Michael Zetterer, Milos Veljkovic, Marco Friedl, Anthony Jung, Mitchell Weiser, Romano Schmid, Jens Stage, Leonardo Bittencourt, Olivier Deman, Rafael Santos Borre and Marvin Ducksch.
📰 Team News: Bayer Leverkusen
With a fully healthy group available to select from, the Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso does not have any fitness worries to speak of coming into this clash.
We’re of the thinking that Leverkusen seem most likely to utilise a 3-4-2-1 formation, settling for Lukas Hradecky, Odilon Kossounou, Jonathan Tah, Edmond Tapsoba, Jeremie Frimpong, Alex Grimaldo, Exequiel Palacios, Granit Xhaka, Jonas Hofmann, Florian Wirtz and Victor Okoh Boniface.
💭 Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Werder Bremen have enough to put one past this Bayer Leverkusen team, although just one goal is unlikely to prevent defeat.
We are therefore anticipating both teams to score in a 1-2 winning margin for Bayer Leverkusen when the referee blows the final whistle. It’s a very tough call.
