Werder Bremen versus Bayer Leverkusen in the live ticker: All goals, news and information on the Bundesliga game today in the BayArena – all live in the live ticker of the DeichStube *!
>>> UPDATE <<
3:19 pm: A little more figures before kick-off:
– The Werkself only won one of the last six Bundesliga home games against Werder – 1-0 in December 2017.
– Werder currently lives mainly from away points. Nine of the 14 points so far have been taken away from Bremen.
– Werder also won the most recent away game in the league. The 1-0 win at Mainz 05 a few days before Christmas was Bremen’s only win since matchday three.
3:16 pm: The Bosz team’s long list of injuries gives hope for three points in Leverkusen. In addition to the spared youngster Florian Wirtz, Weiser, Bellarabi, Aranguiz, Arias, S. Bender, Palacios and Paulinho are missing – some injured for a long time.
3:10 pm: In tabular terms, after the good start to the season, Werder has long since become disillusioned. The number 14 says it all: 14 points after 14 games mean a 14th place in the table, which is expected before the season. According to Florian Kohfeldt, they are “absolutely on schedule with regard to the seasonal goals”. The relegation place is currently four points away.
2:59 p.m .: At Werder it looks almost exactly the other way around. After several consecutive games without a win, they scored two wins against Mainz (league) and Hanover (cup) before Christmas, before disappointing again across the board against Union Berlin last week.
2:56 p.m .: The Werkself have lost two of their last two Bundesliga games (against Bayern and Frankfurt). Previously, they were unbeaten in twelve games. In the meantime, this had even led to the championship lead.
2.48 p.m .: Incidentally, Leverkusen coach Peter Bosz is one of Werder coach Florian Kohfeldt’s favorite colleagues in the Bundesliga – “both in terms of humanity and the way he lets football be played”. And certainly a bit because of these statistics: Bosz has not won a home game against Kohfeldt in three attempts. With Borussia Dortmund there was a defeat, with Leverkusen a defeat and a draw.
2:41 pm: For Tahith Chong, by the way, it is the fourth starting line-up in the Bundesliga. No victory has emerged in the three previous attempts. Against Hertha (1: 4) and Stuttgart (1: 2) there were defeats, against Frankfurt a 1: 1 jumped out.
2.39 p.m .: Yuya Osako is not in the squad today after a one-on-one conversation with Kohfeldt and several weak games.
2.37 p.m .: Kapino, Moisander, Gruev, Agu, Schmid, Dinkci, Bittencourt, Selke and Füllkrug take their places on the Bremer Bank.
Werder Bremen against Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the live ticker – Tahith Chong gets a new chance from the start
2.34 p.m .: This Werder line-up smells like a chain of five or three. Kohfeldt has three central defenders in Veljkovic, Toprak and Friedl. Outside act (as always) Theodor Gebre Selassie and Ludwig Augustinsson, whose job it will, however, also be to provide overpower in the midfield and, above all, steam forward. The move in midfield from Osako to Mbom is also one with a defensive background. Mbom stands for the rather rustic style of football. On the offensive gets counterattackers Tahith Chong the advantage over penalty area striker Davie Selke, whom Kohfeldt would have believed to be able to start from a purely fitness point of view. “With him it’s enough for 45, maybe 60 minutes – that makes him a candidate for the starting XI,” he said. Now, like Niclas Füllkrug, Selke remains on the bench for the time being.
2:32 p.m .: The home team from Leverkusen can storm Schick, Diaby and Bailey today. Plenty to do for the Bremen defense.

Before the duel against Werder Bremen: Bayer Leverkusen wants redress
The SV Werder Bremen plays away against in the Bundesliga on matchday 15 Bayer 04 Leverkusen. The opponent weakened last – an unexpected chance? The preliminary report of the DeichStube *.
Bremen / Leverkusen – Since Florian Kohfeldt coach of the SV Werder Bremen is there was in the games against Bayer 04 Leverkusen Not too much to get for his team: In seven duels there was just one win and two draws. On Saturday, the 38-year-old would like to take stock of the results in the BayArena from 3:30 p.m. (Live-Ticker the DeichStube). Much speaks for Werder Bremen before the duel against the table third.
Werder Bremen: opponents Bayer Leverkusen attacking strong and versatile
“We’re going to an opponent who is very good,” says Florian Kohfeldt over Leverkusen, who have already scored 28 points on 14 match days. Above all, the Werkself offensive – with 29 goals behind FC Bayern Munich’s (44) the best in the league – has already caused a sensation. Whether it’s Lucas Alario (eight goals), Leon Bailey and Patrik Schick (four goals each) or Nadiem Amiri, Julian Baumgartlinger, Moussa Diaby and Florian Wirtz (all two goals) – danger shines in the coach’s team Peter Bosz quite a few actors. Which is also due to the fact that Bayer Leverkusen is extremely versatile in his attacking game.
“We expect a very counter-strong team, a team with a lot of speed, individual quality, playfulness in the center and many deep runs,” says Kohfeldt. On the defensive side, Bayer 04 are also characterized by strong counter-pressing. “Your goal is to always have control of the game,” says Kohfeldt. Last was the upcoming opponent of the SV Werder Bremen but that didn’t work out too well.
Werder Bremen: Bayer Leverkusen’s form weakness a chance for Florian Kohfeldt and Co.?
After this Bayer Leverkusen on the first twelve match days of the Bundesliga remained without defeat (eight wins, four draws), it then continued two defeats in a row. Against Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt it was 1: 2 each. Perhaps the weakness of form could become an opportunity for Werder. On the other hand, Leverkusen is likely to face table 14. Burning for reparation and having a victory firmly planned in any case. “We played really badly against Frankfurt for the first time in three months. Before that we did well. I hope that this performance remains a one-off, “says Bosz – and emphasizes:” We will give everything to against Werder Bremen to win.”
Clear words for it Florian Kohfeldt but probably would not have needed it – after all, he is well aware of the difficulty of the task. “We have to go to the limit of our capabilities to even have a chance,” said the Werder coach, who assumes that he can rely on his players on this point against Leverkusen. After the desperate appearance against Union Berlin (0-2), Werder also has a lot to make up for – at least when it comes to the points of commitment and passion.
