Focussed on the tenth

Werder Bremen are unbeaten in nine competitive games and go to Leverkusen this weekend (Sunday 17th March, 13:30 CET) looking to continue this record with a win.

Confidence and Experience

Sebastian Langkamp is still sidelined, while Milos Veljkovic picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in the 4-2 victory over Schalke and is suspended for the weekend’s trip to Leverkusen. Florian Kohfeldt is therefore putting his trust in centre-back pairing Moisander and Friedl to keep out the Leverkusen attack, a selection that could benefit both, according to Kohfeldt.
