Prior to that, Ole Werner’s side were on a two-game losing streak, suffering successive defeats against Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt respectively.

With 30 points from 22 matches, Werder Bremen are currently ninth in the league table, eight points off the Conference League qualification spot.
