Werder Bremen may still be battling relegation concerns, but their recent upturn in form has given them fresh belief ahead of a crucial meeting with RB Leipzig, who are pushing to secure a top-four finish.
The outcome of this clash could prove significant at both ends of the Bundesliga table, with a win for either team pushing them to their season goal.
Werder Bremen and Leipzig have played first-half draws in three of their last five encounters.
Bremen sit four points clear of the relegation zone and returned from the international break in strong spirits, having won three of their last four league matches.
While two of those victories came against fellow strugglers, their overall form is impressive. However, this fixture represents a much tougher test.
Bremen have struggled badly against the league’s elite, losing all six of their matches against current top-five sides without scoring, including three defeats on home soil.
Leipzig, meanwhile, are holding onto a Champions League place by goal difference and remain under pressure from teams just behind them.
Despite winning three of their last four matches, they know consistency is key in the final stretch of the league season.
Christoph Baumgartner is Leipzig’s top scorer this season and has scored four goals in his last five Bundesliga games.
A dominant 5-0 victory over Hoffenheim last time out underlined their quality, and they will expect to build on that here.
On the road, they have also avoided defeat against all bottom-half sides, with their only away losses coming against teams in the top nine.

Whispers predicts: Werder Bremen 1-2 RB Leipzig
The recent form of the two sides suggests a competitive game, but the visitors' superior attacking depth should see them through.
Werder Bremen showed great resilience in their win over Wolfsburg, yet their inability to keep clean sheets against top opposition remains a concern.
RB Leipzig will be highly motivated to continue their dominant record against the Green-Whites, which gives them a strong advantage.
The bookmakers have picked the away side as the favourites with odds of 1.95, based on their form. A draw is priced at 3.80, while a home win for the hosts is considered the underdog result at 3.50 odds.
The first-half of their ties have been tight and the odds for a first-half draw are given at 2.50. Also, Christoph Baumgartner has been in good form of late and the odds to score are at 3.00.
Furthermore, both teams to score (yes) is valued at 1.44, which is a sensible option considering the hosts have struggled for clean sheets.
