Werder Bremen

Oskar Wójcik looks set to start for the first time in the last five matches in Werder Bremen's central defence. Arthur should continue at right-back too, having started four of the last five games, while Mick Schmetgens has started once.

Niclas Füllkrug remains the focal point in attack, with four goals from his last five starts, though he has rarely lasted the full ninety minutes and has usually been withdrawn inside the final half hour. Marco Grüll has matched that output out wide, with two goals and four assists in the same five games, while Eren Dinkci has started four of the last five matches but has been withdrawn in the closing stages each time.

SC Paderborn

SC Paderborn are expected to stick with the same group that lost to Stuttgart. Mattes Hansen should retain his place, having started every game in the last five and been withdrawn inside the final fifteen minutes each time.

Santiago Castaneda has played every one of those matches too, scoring once, while Marvin Pieringer and Stefano Marino continue to split the two wide positions between them. Gabriel Vidović and Raphael Obermair remain in the side as well, with Laurin Curda supplying an assist from the right of midfield.
