Werder Bremen preview: Friedl and Kownacki are out
Marco Friedl is out of action for Werder Bremen while Dawid Kownacki is suspended and won't be involved either. Leon Optiz and Keke Topp are both considered doubtful. Werder Bremen rested some players for their midweek cup loss at Arminia Bielefeld, so fatigue shouldn't be an issue.
Predicted lineup: Zetterer (GK), Pieper, Stark, Jung, Weiser, Bittencourt, Lynen, Schmid, Kohn, Njinmah, Silva

Player to watch – Denis Vavro
Denis Vavro is enjoying a solid campaign on loan with Wolfsburg from Danish giants FC Copenhagen and the centre-half has been one of Die Wolfe’s most reliable performers this term.

Vavro provides presence
Slovakian international Vavro has been averaging an impressive 8.10 clearances per game in the Bundesliga this season and the 28-year-old’s ability to get the ball away could provide Wolfsburg with a platform for success on Saturday.
