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).
But we're coming into the period of the game where they seem to step it up.

THE MATCHWINNER?

STARK IN THE BOOK

Nkunku is about to spin him on the touchline and the Bremen defender slides in. Yellow card.

CALM FROM GVARDIOL

Stage gets onto the end of a long ball and tries to hook it back into the mixer, but Gvardiol - wearing a mask today after breaking his nose during the week - calmly heads it back to Blaswich.

FÜLLE GETS UP!

Füllkrug gets onto the end of a Jung clip into the box and powers a header down low, but Blaswich is able to hold.
75'

CHANGES

Werder react to the goal with a double change as Rapp and Stage replace Groß and Bittencourt in midfield. Dani Olmo - who will be off to the World Cup with Spain after this - is on for Forsberg for Leipzig.

STILL RISING

It's Nkunku to take it. Werder have a man on the floor behind the wall and one on the post. Neither player are in any danger as the Frenchman blasts his effort high and wide. Ball still probably hasn't come back down yet.

FREE-KICK

Schlager tries to drive through the centre of the Werder defence on the edge of the box and is tripped. Free-kick inside the D. Leipzig are the third-most dangerous team from free-kicks this season. What can they do here?

AND WE'RE LEVEL!

Leipzig will be furious with this. A throw-in on the Bremen left, couple of passes and Groß finds himself with an angle to shoot from the left corner of the box. It takes a slight deflection off Orban to loop over a stranded Blaswich and into the far top corner. Big way to mark the midfielder's 50th Bundesliga appearance, with his first goal in the division!

NKUNKU!

But then Leipzig switch back to attacking mode. Schlager over to Henrichs. He plays in Szoboszlai, who tries a back heel but the ball lands back at him anyway. He squares for Nkunku, but the division's top scorer somehow puts wide from inside the six-yard box!

FRONT FOOT BREMEN

The home side have come out this half like they did in the first. This time they've maintained the effort a bit longer and are also seeing more of the ball. But there's no way through this Leipzig back line yet.

ADVANTAGE LEIPZIG

It's the visitors who lead at the break. Is Marco Rose the happier of the two coaches? Well, he's remonstrating with the officials about something. He'll know this game is far from settled despite Silva's well taken goal.

DEFLECTED OFF JUNG

As they have most of the game, Bremen come forward down the right. Weiser's cross goes all the way through to Jung, who hits it on the bounce, but it deflects off Henrichs and takes the sting out of it for Blaswich.

DOWN TO 10 FOR THE MOMENT

Orban has got a cut on his forehead so has to go off to have it cleaned up. Leipzig are down to 10 for the moment.

LEIPZIG IN AGAIN

The visitors - and Forsberg in particular - again find space in the Bremen half. The Swede sees Schlager on the overlap and slips him in, but Weiser tracks him all the way.

Golden chance for Werder and Füllkrug as a free-kick is clipped over the top, Stark turns it across the face of goal but Blaswich somehow manages to deny Füllkrug from point-blank range.

SILVA STRIKES!

Devastating break from Leipzig. They win the ball back in their own half and Forsberg is set away through the middle. He has Silva to his left, Nkunku to his right. The Swede goes for the former, slipping it perfectly into his path and the Portugal international slots it away first time from the left of goal

HEAD TO HEAD

In eleven meetings between these sides, Leipzig have won eight while there has been one draw and a couple of victories for today's hosts. Die Roten Bullen have triumphed in the last five games against Bremen.

WEISER'S ASSIST GOAL

Watch out for Werder's Mitchel Weiser today. The Bremen right-sided dynamo is looking to become the first Green-White player since Diego to provide four assists in-a-row. Weiser laid on both Werder's goals in the 2-1 win against Schalke and also assisted Anthony Jung's goal in the heavy defeat at Bayern Munich.

BREMEN TEAM NEWS

Home boss Ole Werner has opted for three changes to the team that began the 6-1 defeat against Bayer Munich last time out. Stark, Schmid and Füllkrug are in from the get-go, the latter recovering from a back complaint. Burke drops to the bench while Gruev and Veljkovic miss out completely.

LEIPZIG TEAM NEWS

Marco Rose makes four changes to the Leipzig XI compared to the team that started the 3-1 home win against Freiburg. Henrichs, Raum, Forsberg and Haidara are in for Halstenberg, Kampl, Olmo (who are all on the bench). Simakan doesn't make the squad.

FÜLLKRUG'S DELIGHT

The surprise inclusion in Hansi Flick's Germany squad for the World Cup in Qatar was the uncapped Füllkrug. Bremen's 29-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic campaign, and was already in Flick's thoughts at the start of October when the former Bayern boss claimed the the national team “does not otherwise have the traits Füllkrug possesses”. After it was confirmed he would be part of the travelling 26, the striker was clearly over the moon, telling the media, “I am delighted to be called up. It has been a long road, and I have had to prove myself again and again with my performances. I'm looking forward to this special experience, which is the pinnacle of a player's career”.

THE VIEW FROM LEIPZIG

Rose was quick to praise Bremen on Friday as he completed his media duties. “Werder are a great club that belongs in the Bundesliga”, he stated. “And so far, they are having a great season”. However, he was clearly aware of the importance of ending the year on a high, saying, “With a positive result, we can go into the winter break where we think we should be. So of course we want to win.”
camera-photo

THE VIEW FROM BREMEN

Bremen have already beaten Borussias Dortmund and Mönchengladbach this season, and Werner will be hoping his side can defeat another of the Bundesliga's big-hitters here. In his pre-match press conference, he said of Leipzig, “They appear very stable right now and will no doubt bring their individual and collective quality to the table. But, as always, we are concentrating on ourselves and want to be the toughest possible opponent by playing our best game.”

THE TREATMENT ROOM

After scoring nine goals in 16 games following his return to the Red Bull Arena this summer, it was like Timo Werner had never been away. Unfortunately for him, an ankle injury will keep him out for the foreseeable future and means he will not be travelling with the Germany squad to Qatar. He is joined in the treatment room by Peter Gulacsi, Konrad Laimer and Marcel Halstenberg, although Rose has plenty of alternative options at his disposal. Other than Füllkrug's potential absence, Bremen will have to make do without Felix Agu and Jean-Manuel Mbom, while Milos Veljkovic could also miss out after limping off at the Allianz Arena in midweek.

THE HISTORY

Leipzig certainly have the upper hand in this match-up, winning eight of the 11 competitive meetings between the two sides since their promotion to the Bundesliga in 2016, including each of the last five. There have been just two Bremen victories, the latest of which came in 2019, when Werder legend Claudio Pizarro scored a late winner on the final day of the season – that proved to be the final Bundesliga goal of his career.
camera-professional-play-symbol

THE KEY MEN

Christopher Nkunku's stock seems to rise with each passing matchday. The Frenchman, who was included in Didier Deschamps' World Cup squad on Wednesday, leads the Bundesliga goalscoring charts with 12 goals, and has 17 in all competitions. The 24-year-old is crucial to Leipzig's chances of success and will be looking to prove his credentials once more here. After missing Bremen's 6-1 defeat to Bayern Munich with a back injury, Niclas Füllkrug's involvement is far less certain but, with ten league goals to his name already this term, Ole Werner will be tempted to play the forward even if he is short of full fitness.

THE FORM BOOK

Werder Bremen's return to the Bundesliga has, thus far, been a successful one. Despite being tipped for a relegation battle prior to the start of the season, they sit eighth in the table and just five points off the top four. Today, though, they face a Leipzig side in a rich vein of form. After a difficult start to life as the club's coach, Marco Rose has led RB through a 12-game unbeaten run (W10, D2). They are now back in the conversation for the Champions League places, and will be eager to continue their five-match winning streak in all competitions at the Weserstadion.
