RB Leipzig’s coach Ole Werner faces a significant matchup as he prepares to encounter his former club, Werder Bremen, for the first time since his departure. The two teams will clash in the Bundesliga this Sunday at 3:30 PM, with the game available on DAZN. Werner parted ways with Werder in May after announcing his decision not to extend his contract beyond the summer of 2026, a move stemming from unsuccessful contract negotiations.
In this upcoming fixture, Werner will be without the services of center-back El Chadaille Bitshiabu, who is sidelined due to a muscle injury.
RB Leipzig comes into this match with strong confidence, having an impressive home record against the North German side. Despite a challenging loss to Bayern Munich (0:4) in their recent match, Bremen remains unbeaten in their last five games. Historically, Leipzig has dominated their confrontations with Bremen, winning seven out of the last ten competitive encounters and drawing three times. Notably, Leipzig has not lost at home to Werder, boasting four victories in their four home games this season.
With both teams aiming to secure valuable points, this matchup promises to be an exciting encounter, showcasing the resilience of Leipzig alongside Bremen’s determination to rebound from their recent struggles. The clash not only highlights Ole Werner’s return to his former club but also sets the stage for an intense battle in the Bundesliga.
