Almost from Stark!
The centre-back of all people find himself in space inside the Pauli box. He is eventually crowded out, but these are nervy moments for the home side.

Friedl booked
Irvine looks like he is about to break through on goal, but the Australian is hacked down by Friedl a few yards into Bremen's half. He picks up a yellow card only, despite the home fans chanting for VAR to intervene.

Mbangula curls one from range
The winger skilfully cuts inside, and unleashes a shot from the left corner of the Pauli box. Vasilj gets across well to push the ball away from goal, but it's another warning sign for the hosts.

Here we go then! It's a crucial 45 minutes for both clubs, as a win for either side will massively boost their hopes of Bundesliga survival. They remain unchanged.

Pauli pressing higher
The home side have been decent out of possession in the last 10 minutes or so, but they still look a little lost in the final third whenever they get the ball back. Kaars has looked especially isolated since his early shot at goal.

A game of few chances
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Pauli look to turn the tide
The hosts are pushing forward again, but Bremen are well organised and are allowing very little to sneak through. Saliakas is played through on the left wing after three or four quick passes, but the Greek player is flagged offside.

Stage can't convert!
Schmid whips in a teasing free-kick from the left byline. Stage gets a toe on the ball, but it's not enough to beat Vasilj, who pushes it away to relative safety. Bremen remain on top here.

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Chance on the break!
It's a decent opening for the visitors. Grüll has a chance to stretch his legs, although his shot from the edge of the Pauli box is well blocked. Schmid then collects the loose ball, only to have his effort blocked by a Pauli defender. Bremen will be frustrated to have not at least tested the goalkeeper there.

Kaars works an opportunity
The hosts combine well down the left channel. Pyrka plays the ball into Kaars in the Bremen penalty area, who pokes the ball goalwards after finding some space. However, Backhaus makes a simple save to keep him out.

Late starting XI change for Bremen
Agu was due to start today, but a last-minute change means Schmidt starts at left-back in his place.

Schmidt booked
The wing-back collodes with Ando, catching him on the foot with his studs. He then picks up a very early yellow card, meaning he'll have to watch his step for the rest of the game.

Bright start for Bremen
Grüll is sent through on goal, but Wahl and Smith do well to intercept him. Moments later, Bremen have a corner, which is headed over the crossbar.

Table talk
Both sides come into this clash desperately needing a win. Bremen are two points ahead of their North German rivals in 16th, while Pauli, who are currently in 17th, can climb out of the relegation zone with a victory today.
