The Bundesliga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Werder Bremen take on an impressive Union Berlin side in an important encounter at the Alte Forsterei on Saturday.
Union Berlin vs Werder Bremen Preview
Werder Bremen are currently in 10th place in the Bundesliga standings and have been inconsistent this season. The away side slumped to a disappointing 2-1 defeat at the hands of Borussia Dortmund last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Union Berlin, on the other hand, are in 14th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The hosts slumped to a damaging 2-0 defeat at the hands of VfB Stuttgart in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
