In the last few weeks of the Bundesliga campaign, Werder Bremen have been sucked towards the relegation zone. Florian Kohfeldt’s team are now four points clear of both the relegation play-off spot and the last automatic relegation berth.
The Green and Whites head to Union Berlin on Saturday afternoon in need of a morale-boosting win. Werder Bremen have been dragged into the relegation battle because of a poor recent run of form.

A 1-0 home defeat last time out against fellow strugglers Mainz means that the visitors have now suffered six straight Bundesliga defeats.
The visitors have had issues at both ends of the pitch of late, but the fact that they have conceded at least two goals in four of their last six league games has hampered their chances of picking up points.
Werder’s away form has not exactly been great of late, as they have won just one of their last five Bundesliga matches on their travels while suffering three defeats.
Union Berlin are enjoying another good campaign in the Bundesliga. Urs Fischer side is still in within a chance of sealing a European spot this season, even if that chance is not a massive one.
The team from the German capital are four points adrift of the European spots in the German top-flight.
However, a poor recent run of form has not aided their challenge for a top-six spot, as Union have won just once in their last five matches in the Bundesliga. Last time out, they suffered a 2-0 defeat at Dortmund.
Despite their recent inconsistent run of league form, Union have remained tough to beat at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei, as they are 14 league matches unbeaten on home soil in the German top-flight.
Forebet predicts that Union will return to form by recording a victory to boost their European aspirations while denting Werder’s hopes of attempting to break free of the danger zone.
