🗞️ Team News: Union Berlin
The Union Berlin boss Nenad Bjelica has a full complement, with no fitness concerns at all coming into this game with a fully healthy group to choose from. András Schäfer will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
It’s our opinion that Union could employ a 3-5-2 formation in the match and select Frederik Roennow, Danilho Doekhi, Kevin Vogt, Diogo Leite, Josip Juranovic, Lucas Tousart, Rani Khedira, Brenden Aaronson, Robin Gosens, Kevin Volland and Benedict Hollerbach.

Werder Bremen manager Ole Werner has multiple availability issues to deal with. Marco Friedl (Syndesmotic ligament tear), Amos Pieper (Fitness) and Niklas Stark (Inner ligament injury) are not able to play. Romano Schmid cannot play in this game through suspension.
We reckon that Werder might make use of a 3-5-2 lineup, going with Michael Zetterer, Julian Malatini, Christian Gross, Anthony Jung, Mitchell Weiser, Leonardo Bittencourt, Senne Lynen, Jens Stage, Felix Agu, Justin Njinmah and Marvin Ducksch.
⚡ Prediction
We’re of the view that Werder Bremen will have their work cut out to be putting a goal past this Union Berlin lineup who we reckon will get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.
We’re therefore seeing a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 winning score for Union Berlin when all is said and done.
Should be a close one.
