BERLIN, Germany – As the Bundesliga season nears its conclusion, SV Werder Bremen plans to secure another away victory against 1. FC Union Berlin on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at 3:30 PM CET. The team, led by head coach Ole Werner, enters the match with a solid chance for success due to their favorable position.
Werder Bremen is confident as they travel to the capital, motivated by their recent performances. They aim to improve upon their previous outings without any pressure to win, as Coach Werner mentioned, “We have nothing to lose, but we can make significant gains from this match.”
On the injury front, Marco Friedl and Felix Agu started the training week on the sidelines but are expected to return soon. André Silva has only participated partially in training, while Milos Veljkovic is still recovering from muscular issues and will not be available for the match.
Discussing the challenges posed by Union Berlin, Werner stated, “They make it very difficult to achieve goals due to their playing style. This match could be reminiscent of our encounters with Bochum and St. Pauli. Our performance against Bochum can serve as a good benchmark.”
Union Berlin is known for their rugged defensive tactics, which have seen them excel in difficult matches recently. They have rediscovered their strengths in solid defense and set pieces. According to Werner, “We must remain patient, avoid rushing into open situations, and find solutions offensively against a deep-defending team. Set pieces could also be a crucial aspect for us.”
The history between Werder Bremen and Union Berlin shows that whenever they meet, there is always a winning team. This upcoming match will mark the eleventh official confrontation, with Union claiming six victories to Werder’s four. Notably, in their last encounter, Bremen triumphed 4-1 with Marco Grüll scoring two goals.
A standout figure in Union’s lineup is goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow, who has excelled in saving penalties. He boasts an impressive record, having faced five penalty takers this season and saving four, making him the most effective Bundesliga goalkeeper in this regard.
Fans can catch the live action on Sky, and updates will be provided through the club’s social media channels. After the match, highlights and full coverage of the game will also be available for viewing. For an authentic stadium experience, public viewings will be hosted at BOLZEREI and within the club’s gastro section at Platz 11.
