Hoeness: "Bremen are very solid"

Sebastian Hoeness on …

… the personnel situation: "The personnel situation going into the game is basically the same as it was before the Molde game. Mijat Gaćinović will also probably miss this game, unfortunately, and Kevin Vogt is suspended. The defence almost picks itself against Bremen due to the players missing."

… the opposition: "Bremen have put in some very solid performances. They have conceded the fewest goals this year. We also know that they are feeling good right now. It's not easy to create chances against them. We need to show the proper determination."

... the situation in the table: "It's always important to get points on the board. We are not looking to make a statement, just to get the rewards for our efforts. We want to use the game to go above them. That would help us in the table."

… the game against Molde: "Of course, the game kept us busy. But we can also take some positives from it. We just have to be smarter at certain stages of the game. We were still feeling very disappointed yesterday, but we don't have time to think about the negative things. We're right back into it on Sunday."

Head-to-head record:

Bremen have been welcome opponents recently: TSG have lost only one of the last ten matches in the Bundesliga (four wins and five draws). The reverse fixture this season ended 1-1.

The opposition’s form:

Werder are currently in good form. Coach Florian Kohfeldt's team have lost only one of their last seven competitive games and so far this year has conceded the fewest goals (6) in the Bundesliga.
