Looking at personnel, there is just a single fitness concern for the Werder Bremen manager Ole Werner to be concerned with from a near full-strength group. Abdenego Nankishi (Corona virus) is sidelined.

We think that Werder will probably use the 3-5-2 system for the game featuring Jiri Pavlenka, Milos Veljkovic, Omer Toprak, Marco Friedl, Felix Agu, Leonardo Bittencourt, Christian Gross, Romano Schmid, Anthony Jung, Niclas Füllkrug and Marvin Ducksch.
