Werder Bremen will invite Borussia Monchengladbach to the Weserstadion in a mid-table Bundesliga clash on Saturday. Monchengladbach have a four-point lead over Bremen and are in ninth place in the league table, three places above the hosts.
Die Werderaner returned to winning ways after five consecutive defeats last week, with a 2-0 away triumph over reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen. Romano Schmid broke the deadlock in the first half and Justin Njinmah doubled their lead in stoppage time.
The visitors suffered their second loss in three games last week, as they fell to a 3-1 home loss to Mainz. Stefan Lainer halved the deficit in the 73rd minute and Nadiem Amiri restored Mainz's two-goal lead four minutes later.
The Green-Whites have won two of their 11 games in 2025 while suffering six losses. They have conceded at least two goals in six of their last nine home games in the Bundesliga and will look to improve upon that record.
Mitchell Weiser will serve a suspension here due to the accumulation of yellow cards. Niklas Stark is also at risk of missing this match due to a knee injury. Captain Marco Friedl is back after an injury spell while Marvin Ducksch is likely to be benched after a brief injury spell.
Die Fohlen have won four of their last seven league games. They have a 100% away record in the Bundesliga this year, scoring seven goals in three games and will look to build on that form. They have lost just one of their last seven away meetings against Werder while recording four wins and are strong favorites.
Franck Honorat and Rocco Reitz have trained separately and are expected back into the fold after the international break. Nathan Ngoumou and Tomáš Čvančara late fitness tests.
Die Fohlen have a good recent record against the hosts and, considering their three-game winning streak in away games, Monchengladbach are expected to record a comfortable win.
