Player to watch – Marco Grull
Marco Grull has found good form in the final third of late, especially at the Weserstadion, where he has bagged two goals in his last two appearances.
Grull should be full of confidence
Grull scored well taken brace in Werder Bremen’s 3-3 draw with Heidenheim in midweek and the 26-year-old Austrian attacker should have a real kick in his step on Sunday after his double impact.
