Key player

Summer signing Marvin Ducksch has been leading the charge for Bremen, coming into excellent goalscoring form towards the end of 2021. He got 31 league goals over the last two seasons for Hannover, and the 27-year-old is on course to provide a similar haul for Bremen. His first goal of the campaign actually came against his current club, when he levelled for Hannover on the opening day of the season. Switching clubs a month later, Ducksch got two goals on debut during a 3-0 win over Hansa Rostock on Matchday 5. He got another in a three-goal victory in Ingolstadt a week later, and further strikes followed in a win over Heidenheim and a draw with league leaders St. Pauli. The former Borussia Dortmund attacker than scored in each of the final three games of the year. Ducksch was on target in the 4-0 home success against Erzgebirge Aue, a 3-2 win at Jahn Regensburg and a 4-1 away triumph over his former club Hannover. With eight goals and three assists in 14 league games for Bremen already, he could well drive them on to promotion.
