Union Berlin have qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the very first time after a late win against Werder helped Die Eisernen to secure fourth spot. Captain Rani Khedira's 81st minute goal will go down in Union history as the celebrations begin in earnest in Köpenick.

It's a mixed bag for the Berlin club at the moment. A big 4-2 win against their big rivals for fourth place, Freiburg, was followed with a 4-2 loss at Hoffenheim. They are the only team in the Bundesliga not to have lost at home in 2022/23 yet, however.

Bremen have just one win in their past 11 as their impressive first season since promotion has fizzled out a little without endangering their safety. Their 1-1 draw against Cologne was their first game in 11 they had conceded less than two goals.

Niclas Füllkrug still leads the Bundesliga scoring chart with 16 goals – two clear of four players back on 14. He could become the fifth Bremen player to win the Torjägerkanone, after Rudi Völler (23 in 1982/83), Mario Basler (20 in 1994/95), Ailton (28 in 2003/04) and Miroslav Klose (25 in 2005/06).

Bremen are the only team this season to have picked up more points on the road than at home. Their 19 points in their travels is the ninth best record in the division, but 17 on their own patch is the fewest of all teams.

Werder have scored on average with every seventh shot this season – the best rate of all teams in the Bundesliga.

Union’s Sheraldo Becker has scored 11 goals this season, having never before got more than seven in the Bundesliga. He’s the most clinical player in the division, scoring 4.7 goals more than his xG of 6.3 would suggest.

Union have been in the top four for 31 out of 33 matchdays this season. They simply have to keep ahead of Freiburg – with goal difference all that’s currently separating them – to make history and qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time ever.

Since Union were promoted in 2019, they’ve earned 207 points from 135 games. That’s the same total as Freiburg, while only Bayern, Dortmund, Leipzig and Leverkusen have picked up more in that time.

Union are the only team yet to lose at home in the Bundesliga this season. It’s 22 games since they lost at the Alte Försterei, which is a club record.
