Union Berlin haven’t lost at home against Werder Bremen since the 14th of September, 2019. With three consecutive wins at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei over Werder Bremen, coach Baumgart’s players have the three points up for grabs.
Union Berlin team news and form: Baumgart has to find solutions
The 53-year-old manager will not be able to count on several of his key performers. The likes of Jerome Roussillon, Josip Juranovic, and Robert Skov are injured and will probably miss all of Union Berlin’s remaining games this season.
Predicted lineup: Ronnow (GK), Leite, Querfeld, Doekhi, Schafer, Trimmel, Khedira, Haberer, Rothe, Ilic & Hollerbach

Werder Bremen team news and form: Does Werner have the answers?
Werder Bremen weren’t up to par in the match against St. Pauli a few days ago and unsurprisingly failed to register a goal. Maybe that was due to the absence of many key players. Milos Veljkovic and youngster Leon Optiz will not play on Saturday as well.
Predicted lineup: Zetterer (GK), Stark, Friedl, Pieper, Weiser, Stage, Lynen, Agu, Schmid, Njinmah & Ducksch

Player to watch: Benedict Hollerbach
Centre-forward Benedict Hollerbach has the quality to cause some damage. With nine goals since the start of the 2024/25 Bundesliga season, Hollerbach proved he is coach Baumgart’s key player this season.
Hollerbach’s vision can’t be ignored
Sure, Hollerbach is quite the scorer, but we gave him a shout-out in our Union Berlin vs Werder Bremen prediction, as he is also quite capable of creating goals. The 23-year-old striker has three assists under his belt so far.
