Werder aims to continue good run against former coach - Werder Bremen’s Steffen faces former boss Werner in high-stakes Leipzig clash
Werder Bremen will face Epic Games on Sunday at 3:30 PM CET in a match with added significance. The game pits current Bremen manager Horst Steffen against his predecessor, Ole Werner, who now leads the second-placed Leipzig side. Both teams enter the fixture in strong form, though Leipzig remains the clear favourite after just two losses all season.
Bremen arrives at the match on a five-game unbeaten streak. Steffen has stressed the need to maintain this momentum, particularly against a Leipzig team known for its attacking speed. The Bremen boss admitted his side must reduce errors if they hope to secure a result.
The match will test Bremen’s resilience against one of the league’s top sides. A win would extend their unbeaten run and prove their progress under Steffen. For Leipzig, three points would reinforce their position near the top of the table.
