Wolfsburg come into this match on the back of a 1-0 win against RB Leipzig in the German Cup. Last time out in the Bundesliga, they lost 3-2 to Augsburg. The home side usually play a 3-4-3 tactical system, favoring a faster style of play. In this design, the three players responsible for causing panic in the opposing defense are Jonas Wind, Tiago Tomás and Vaclav Cerny: the first player mentioned is the team’s top scorer with 8 goals to his name. Out for this game are Lukas Nmecha, Patrick Wimmer, Kilian Fischer, Felix Lange and Ulysses Llanez, all of whom are out with fitness problems.

In this competition, they have lost their last 4 away games. They have conceded goals to their opponents in 7 of their last 9 games in this competition, so they haven’t been very strong defensively. This is a team that rarely scores first: they’ve only opened the scoring in 2 of their last 9 Bundesliga games, of those 2 they went into half-time ahead in all of them and won at the end of the 90′ in all of them. In 9 games in this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and only managed to turn the game around once.
Werder Bremen come into this match on the back of a 2-0 win at Union Berlin, putting an end to three straight defeats in this competition: the team’s goals were scored by Marvin Ducksch and Robin Knoche (own goal). The away side usually play a 3-5-2 tactical system, giving priority to a more interior style of play, using short passes to progress up the field.

Christian Groß, Jiri Pavlenka, Niklas Stark, Naby Keïta and Nicolai Rapp are all out with fitness problems.
