THE TEAM NEWS
WERDER BREMEN
- An injury-time penalty salvaged a point for Werder Bremen at Eintracht Frankfurt last time out but they have lost two of their three home games this season.
- Bremen's significant injury problems have not really eased over the international break although Yuya Osako and Niklas Moisander are both closing in on returns.
- Omer Toprak has been ruled out after suffering a fresh injury setback but fellow centre-back Sebastian Langkamp made his comeback in a friendly last week.
Predicted line-up (4-3-3): Pavlenka; Gebre Selassie, Veljkovic, Groß, Friedl; M. Eggestein, Sahin, Klaassen; Bittencourt, Sargent, Rashica
Unavailable: Moisander (Injured), Mohwald (Injured), Fullkrug (Injured), Bartels (Injured), Augustinsson (Injured), Osako (Injured), Toprak (Injured)
Doubtful: Pizarro (Injured)
HERTHA
- Three successive wins, albeit against teams at the lower end of the table, have lifted Hertha BSC up to tenth and away from danger.
- Centre-back Niklas Stark is doubtful after returning home from international duty early and Eduard Lowen is also struggling with an injury, but Arne Maier is the only definite absentee.
- Karim Rekik or Jordan Torunarigha will replace Stark in the centre of defence if he is not fit, but otherwise it could be the same side that started in the 3-1 win over Fortuna Dusseldorf.
Predicted line-up (4-2-3-1): Jarstein; Klunter, Rekik, Boyata, Mittelstadt; Skjelbred, Grujic; Wolf, Darida, Dilrosun; Ibisevic
Unavailable: Maier (Injured)
Doubtful: Stark (Injured), Lowen (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Werder Bremen have been a bit of a bogey team for Hertha in recent years; the Green-Whites are unbeaten in the last 11 top-flight meetings between the two sides. Yet with the Berliners in good form and Bremen missing so many players, now is a good time for that run to end.
