Werder Bremen will host Bayer Leverkusen at the Weserstadion on Sunday (March 12) in the Bundesliga.
The hosts have struggled in the league recently, dropping to the bottom half of the standings. Werder lost 2-1 to Augsburg in their last game. They would perhaps feel they deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing, particularly in the first half. Bremen are 11th in the league table with 30 points from 23 games.
Leverkusen, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the league recently but remain hopeful of securing European football. They thrashed Hertha Berlin 4-1 in the league last weekend with four players getting on the scoresheet before beating Ferencvaros 2-0 in the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals on Thursday (March 9). The visitors rea mid-table in ninth place with 31 points.
