📰 Team News: Werder Bremen

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just a single fitness concern for the Werder Bremen manager Ole Werner to contend with due to a largely intact set of players. Milos Veljkovic (muscular problems) will miss out.

In all likelihood, Werder will probably kick off with a 3-5-2 system featuring Michael Zetterer, Niklas Stark, Marco Friedl, Amos Pieper, Mitchell Weiser, Jens Stage, Senne Lynen, Romano Schmid, Felix Agu, Oliver Burke and Marvin Ducksch.

📰 Team News: RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig boss Zsolt Lőw has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Willi Orbán (Fitness), Xaver Schlager (Muscle injury), Amadou Haidara (Inner ligament injury) and Benjamin Henrichs (Achilles tendon rupture) won’t be making appearances.

There’s a good chance that Leipzig appear most likely to utilise a 4-4-2 formation using Peter Gulacsi, Kosta Nedeljkovic, Lukas Klostermann, E. C. Bitshiabu, Castello Lukeba, Ridle Baku, Nicolas Seiwald, Arthur Vermeeren, Xavi Simons, Ikoma Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko.

💡 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that RB Leipzig would be disappointed if they were not to score against this Werder Bremen side, however that isn’t expected to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

Our tip is for a narrow 2-1 win for Werder Bremen at full-time. It really should be an interesting one.
