Germany: Werder Bremen in danger, a joker to improve

The club in the green and white tunic can hope to get out of the red zone with the reception of Eintracht, the worst away team this season. A victory would ensure him to overtake the potential barrister Düsseldorf to rise to Mainz, the first non-relegation.

Since the post-coronavirus recovery, Bremen has regained colors by garnering seven points in four games, including the last three won Saturday at Schalke (1-0).

At the same time, his defense, usually so porous, was able to fill the gaps. She has remained waterproof over the last three meetings, especially against Mönchengladbach (0-0) and her pair of French strikers Alassane Pléa and Marcus Thuram, although in great shape.

Wednesday, she will have to resist the assaults of the Portuguese striker André Silva, loaned to Frankfurt by AC Milan, and put down the partners of the goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, trapped in 12th place far from their initial ambitions.

After this late meeting, there will be five more days to go.

Editor's note: The first 4 are qualified directly in the Champions League.

Two German teams enter the Europa League directly: either the Cup winner and the 5th in the Bundesliga, or the 5th and 6th in the Bundesliga (if the Cup winner is qualified for C1).

Another team (the 6th or the 7th in the championship), goes through the qualifications of the Europa League.

The last two in the championship (17th and 18th) are relegated to D2, the 16th contests a round-trip jump-off with the 3rd of D2.
