📋 Team News: Werder Bremen

Ömer Toprak (Muscle Injury), Milot Rashica (Knee Problems) and Oscar Schönfelder (Fitness) will be missing for Bremen manager Florian Kohfeldt.

We think that Werder may well use a 4-3-3 system this time, handing starts to Jiri Pavlenka, Ludwig Augustinsson, Niklas Moisander, Milos Veljkovic, Theodor Gebre Selassie, Davy Klaassen, Patrick Erras, Maximilian Eggestein, Tahith Chong, Davie Selke and Josh Sargent.

📋 Team News: Hertha Berlin

Thanks to a completely healthy squad available to select from, Hertha Berlin boss Bruno Labbadia does not have any fitness concerns to report ahead of this game.

We believe Hertha seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Alexander Schwolow, Peter Pekarik, Jordan Torunarigha, Dedryck Boyata, Marvin Plattenhardt, Lucas Tousart, Vladimir Darida, Dodi Lukebakio, Matheus Cunha, Maximilian Mittelstädt and Krzysztof Piatek.

⚡ Prediction

In our opinion, Hertha Berlin and Werder Bremen could both end up scoring in a what should be a good tussle with little between the two teams.

There should be little in it, and a draw looks to be quite a realistic result. We’re therefore expecting a very close game with a 1-1 score draw at the end of the 90.
