No way through
Stark makes an important clearance as Union throw bodies forward in search of the leveller. That's surely it...

Denied!
Rönnow's out quickly to narrow the angle and prevent Topp from scoring a late second goal following a lightning counter. Two of the seven added minutes still to go...

Defensive reinforcements
Malatini replaces Sugawara, who is moving a touch gingerly after overstretching for a ball. Stark's also on for goalscorer Grüll as Steffen tries to shut up shop.
86'
Fresh legs
Mbangula and Boniface have put in the hard yards today. They head off for Puertas and Topp, with the clock ticking down on this one...
83'
Mbang-ed up
Mbangula stays down following an aerial collision. The summer signing from Juventus is OK after a spot of treatment, though.
79'
Attacking changes
Positive from Baumgart, with attacking midfielder Jeong and Haberer - another midfielder - on for the remainder. That's all his subs used up now.

So Grüll on Union
Bremen get the breakthrough in spectacular style. Sugawara launches a low ball into the feet of Grüll, who still has it all to do on the corner of the Union box. He cuts inside, before arrowing a superb effort into the far corner. No chance for Rönnow!

Nothing doing
Grüll goes into the book for hauling down Burke. The ball's sent into the danger from the resultant free-kick, but Backhaus is able to claim.

Double change
Baumgart shows his hand, with Rothe and Schäfer on in a pair of like-for-like changes. Messrs Köhn and Kemlein make way.

Boniface rises
Boniface is first to a Schmid corner, but the balls goes behind again off Leite. The next delivery comes to nothing.

Encouragement
Impressive start to the second half from Bremen. They're seeing a lot of the ball, particularly with Sugawara on the right flank.
48'
Miscued
Bremen get the ball out wide with Sugawara. His cross is only half cleared, but Stage can't do anything with the loose ball and balloons over.

No changes
Under way again in Bremen, with both sides as they were. Will we see a goal or two?

Not far away!
Ansah takes the game by the scruff of the neck, but can't land his 18-yard strike on target. Union needed that after a very subdued spell.

There's the change
Skarke, who dropped to the bench for this one, replaces the injured Ilić in the Union attack.

Injury concern
Ilić is down for Union, prompting the physios to run onto the pitch. It looks like his night is over...

Safe hands
Backhaus reads the danger well to claim a dangerous Trimmel cross under pressure from Burke. Union are causing problems down their right-hand side.

Right idea
Trimmel gets in behind the Bremen defence and hangs up a cross at the back post. Kemlein stoops to head home, but a defender gets in the way to deflect the ball out for a corner...
16'
Alarm bells
Doekhi and Stage collide when contesting a cross. Friedl then goes down in some discomfort, but there's no need for any physio treatment in the end. On we go...
13'
Over and out
Ilić makes a great leap as Trimmel sends over the corner, but the Union man can't keep his attempted header down.
12'
Good goalkeeping!
Backhaus justifies his place in the side ahead of Karl Hein with a smart save to stop Burke finishing a driving run into the penalty area. Corner to come...
7'
Worth a go!
Andrej Ilić finds space on the edge of the Bremen area, before driving a low shot wide of the far post. The Serbian's yet to score in the Bundesliga, but does have four assists after seven games...
5'
Pure power
Boniface helps Bremen win a free-kick following a barrelling run into the final third. Lynen takes the ensuing set-piece, but it's straight into the wall.
3'
Route one
Bremen go long for Boniface for the first time, but he's beaten to the ball in the air by Querfeld.
2'
The Ansah?
Ansah gets on the end of Khedira's pass into the left channel, but he's shown away by two Bremen players. Running at them like that just shows how high his confidence levels are. The German-Ghanaian has scored four goals in the early part of his debut Bundesliga season. He'll be key to Union's prospects of getting a result today...

Under way!

Moment's applause
All inside the stadium pay their respects to former Werder player Max Lorenz, who has died at the age of 86. Lorenz made over 250 appearances for the Green-Whites, helping them win their first Bundesliga title in 1964/65.
Don't Stop Me Now
The Queen anthem is blaring out at the Weser, with the home crowd singing along to create a wonderful atmosphere. And here come the two sets of players...
Tight in the middle
Bremen can climb above Union and into the top half of the table, overnight at least, with a win.
Familiar faces
Derrick Köhn and Oliver Burke are two former Bremen players in the Union starting XI today. Köhn produced a brace of assists when the clubs last met in Bremen - a 4-1 win for Werder, in which Burke featured as a substitute for the hosts.
The Bonifac-tor
Boniface has one assist to show for his first five substitute appearances of the campaign. The Nigerian registered 14 goals and nine assists in his first season at parent club Leverkusen, but fell out of favour last term, finishing 2024/25 with 10 goal involvements across 19 league games.

Trouble on Fridays
It is fair to say the Werderaner have not enjoyed Friday fixtures recently. They have lost the last three such matches, and by a margin of at least three goals on each occasion. This is a chance for them to turn things around.

Two teams that see less of the ball
Friday's meeting involves two of the teams with the lowest average possession stats in the Bundesliga so far this season. Bremen have averaged 47% possession in their seven games to date, whereas Union sit comfortably bottom of the possession charts with an average possession stat of just 36%.
Previous meetings
Since Union Berlin's promotion to the top flight ahead of the 2019/20 season, the two sides have met ten times. Of those ten games, Union have won six, whereas Bremen have won just three. Bremen have, however, only lost one of the last four meetings between the sides.
