Union Berlin Draw no Bet
Werder Bremen were dismantled in harrowing style when they returned to action at Cologne last weekend and their 7-1 reverse against the Billy Goats is certain to have put a massive dent in their confidence. Union Berlin meanwhile, posted an excellent 3-1 comeback win against Hoffenheim and they should have the impetus to push for another victory on Wednesday. However, they had lost four away games in five before the break, so our first prediction advises a measure of caution and a bet on the Iron Ones in the draw no bet stakes.
Both Teams to Score
Despite conceding seven times at the wrong end, Werder did manage to land a consolation blow against Cologne last weekend, which pushed their run of successive Bundesliga matches featuring goals at both ends to four. In total, BTTS has been a winning bet in a notable 69% of Werder Bremen’s league fixtures since August and Die Werderaner will be happy to go toe-to-toe with another opponent, Union Berlin, on Wednesday. With that considered, another stake on both teams to score is the order of the day here.

Werder Bremen vs Union Berlin Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Wednesday’s Bundesliga meeting between Werder Bremen and Union Berlin below.
Werder Bremen
Romano Schmid and Felix Agu are listed as Werder Bremen's only injury concerns at present, though a virtually full complement of players couldn't stop them from being torn to shreds in a 7-1 defeat to Cologne in their first game back after the mid-season break.
Predicted Lineup for Werder Bremen: Pavlenka – Stark, Veljkovic, Friedl – Groß, Weiser, Bittencourt, Gruev, Jung – Fullkrug, Ducksch
Union Berlin
Sven Michel could return to the fold this week for Union Berlin, though midfielder Morten Thosby is a confirmed absentee with an abdominal issue. Attacker Andras Schafer is back in training and could make the matchday squad following his recovery from a broken foot.
Predicted Lineup for Union Berlin: Ronnow – Jaeckel, Knoche, Doekhi – Trimmel, Haraguchi, Khedira, Haberer, Gießelmann – Becker, Siebatcheu
Player to Watch – Danilho Doekhi
Danilho Doekhi was an unlikely match-winning hero for Union Berlin last weekend when the defender scored twice to help his team to a 3-1 victory over Hoffenheim. The 24-year-old centre-half had notched just once this term before that, though his brace allowed Union to restart their campaign in style.
