📋 Team News: Werder Bremen

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Werder Bremen boss Ole Werner to be concerned about from an otherwise complete group. Niklas Stark (Knee problems) will miss out.

It seems likely that Werder could use the 4-4-2 formation for the game and select Michael Zetterer, Amos Pieper, Milos Veljkovic, Anthony Jung, Issa Kabore, Senne Lynen, Jens Stage, Felix Agu, Romano Schmid, Oliver Burke and Andre Silva.

🗞️ Team News: Gladbach

Gladbach manager Gerardo Seoane has to currently contend with reduced team options. Yvandro Borges Sanches (Outer ligament problems), Niklas Swider (muscular problems), Rocco Reitz (Toe injury), Franck Honorat (Hairline crack in foot) and Moritz Nicolas (Adductor injury) are not ready for selection.

We’re of the thinking that Gladbach appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Jonas Omlin, Joseph Scally, Ko Itakura, Nico Elvedi, Lukas Ullrich, Philipp Sander, Julian Weigl, Nathan N'Goumou, Alassane Plea, Robin Hack and Tim Kleindienst.

💭 Prediction

Our thinking is that Borussia Mönchengladbach will likely create enough chances to score against this Werder Bremen outfit, but that probably shouldn’t be enough to prevent defeat.

We think that it’s going to be both teams to score in a 2-1 victory for Werder Bremen by the conclusion of the game. Looking forward to this.
