Player to watch – Jens Stage
Jens Stage was the star of the show when Werder Bremen beat Hoffenheim in September, netting a hattrick in a thrilling 4-3 win for the club.

Stage could be an influence again
Danish midfielder Jens Stag has scored seven goals in the Bundesliga this season and is already enjoying the most prolific campaign of his career. The 28-year-old could be a threat in the final third again on Sunday.
