Player to watch – Mitchell Weiser

Mitchell Weiser’s raiding runs down the right flank have been a great source of creativity for Werder Bremen this season and the wingback has already claimed four assists in 11 Bundesliga appearances since August.

Weiser can deliver from the right again

Weiser has been averaging 1.50 key passes per game in the Bundesliga this season and only two Werder Bremen players have been performing better for that metric so far. Weiser’s pinpoint passing could be a feature of Saturday’s game against Bochum.
