Bremen thought that elusive first win, or at least the first point of the season, would be theirs in midweek as they led 1. FSV Mainz 05 with just three minutes to go, but two late goals left them rooted to the foot of the table. Caretaker coach Alexander Nouri now leads the team out for the first time at the Weser Stadium, hoping to give the home fans some joy.

Wolfsburg's season had been anything but disappointing until they came unstuck in Dortmund on Tuesday. With Mario Gomez still to get off the mark and Daniel Didavi sidelined through injury, Dieter Hecking's men have it all to do if they are to make an immediate return to winning ways at their northern Germany rivals.
