Werder Bremen have managed to pick up four points from their last two fixtures and have doubled their points from the opening five matches.
Although they have only won twice this campaign, the Green-Whites have faced four of last season’s top five in their opening five fixtures and managed to earn a hard-fought point in week two against Bayer Leverkusen, a result that saw Erik ten Hag’s time at Leverkusen come to an end.

Union Berlin got a much-needed win in last Friday’s match, beating league strugglers Borussia Monchengladbach 3-1.
The win propelled the Berlin side from 13th to ninth in the Bundesliga, and a win against Bremen would see them sat in a place for European football next season, a big change from the previous two seasons where they’ve had to fight off relegation.
