Weiser pulls one back

So often the provider for a header, this time Mitchell Weiser gets on the end of Marvin Ducksh's cross to reduce the arrears.

Goal probability

Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

59 %

Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Watch: Bremen 2-0 Union - previous meeting

Marvin Ducksch scored one and many another, while Union captain Rani Khedira was sent off for the first time in his career, when the two teams last met in late October. Union had won the previous five meetings, having lost the first 2-1 at home four years earlier.

2:03

Watch: VfB Stuttgart 2-0 Union Berlin - highlights

Union are also on a three-match winless run following defeat to third-in-the-table Stuttgart. Like Werder, it was their second straight loss - but their buffer on the drop zone isn't quite as healthy. Nenad Bjelica's team are seven points clear of the relegation play-off spot currently occupied by Cologne.

2:03

Watch: Werder Bremen 1-2 Borussia Dortmund - highlights

Mid-table Bremen are winless in three following defeat to Borussia Dortmund, but have a substantial 12-point cushion on the bottom three heading into the final nine rounds of the season.
