Moving from one defeat to another, the pressure is mounting on head coach David Wagner to get his faltering side right back on track. A side touted to finish within the top-six come the end of the season, the Royal Blues sit ninth on the standings and are miles away from sixth-placed Wolfsburg.

Damages have been inflicted on this side week in, week out and the club supporters are beginning to lose faith in their side. Definitely, the home side have to improve performance levels over the coming weeks to remain within continental football reckoning.

Werder Bremen have turned a corner in recent weeks, stringing up impressive performances to get some much-needed points on board. With a game against league-strugglers Schalke 04 on the cards, Die Werderaner will set their sights on all three points as they look to climb out of the drop-zone.

Schalke 04 vs Werder Bremen Team News

Handed the easy task of overpowering a relatively weak Fortuna Dusseldorf side on unfamiliar territory, Schalke 04 fell short of expectations, falling to yet another defeat. The Royal Blues were dominated from start to finish and never looked like winning the game.

Despite taking the lead early on, the away side struggled to get going as they gave up possession far too easily leaving Dusseldorf with numerous chances to hurt them on the break. Soon enough, the hosts fired in two goals, completing an excellent comeback to clinch the maximum points.

Who would have thought that Schalke 04, with the stature of players within their ranks, will be brought down to bare bones by relegation-candidates Fortuna Dusseldorf? Certainly not me! However, this has become the Royal Blues’ reality and the pressure is mounting on David Wagner at the helm of affairs.

Werder Bremen, on the other hand, were very impressive on the last match-day, holding Borussia Monchengladbach to a goalless home draw. Headed into the game as huge underdogs, the River Islanders managed to stage an upset against their top-four opposition.

In truth, Bremen could have ultimately grabbed the victory having created some clear-cut chances in the game but had profligacy to blame for their woes. They had to settle for a draw at the sound of the final whistle and the club supporters must have been really delighted by the outcome of the game.

For this fixture, rather abysmally, Werder Bremen have to be considered slight favorites for the victory and quite rightly so. They are deep-balls in the relegation zone and require a massive five points for Bundesliga survival. Hence, the Royal Islanders have to keep churning out positive results on a regular.

Props to Florian Kohfeldt’s side for their recent upturn in form. They will be determined to continue their survival battle with victory over Schalke 04.

The Royal Blues are on a terrible run of form having failed to register a single win over their previous twelve games. Also, they have lost six of their preceding seven games, conceding a whopping 19 goals in that time. Adding to their misery, they have failed to register a single goal in six of their last eight fixtures.

Injured or Suspended Players

Schalke 04: Suat Serdar and Amine Harit.

Werder Bremen: Niclas Fullkrug, Claudio Pizarro, Omer Toprak, Kevin Mohwald, Kevin Vogt, Ilia Gruev and Milos Veljkovic.

Though very risky, fancy Werder Bremen to clinch maximum points at the end of the ninety minutes.
