Tight affair

xGoals

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).

Rose's view on Bremen

“It's a good team with a good idea of how to play football. They have a lot of good footballers. Marco Friedel as captain, Mitchell Weiser at right back. Felix Agu, who puts a lot of pressure on the left side and has won many penalties this season. As a wing-back he has really good runs and delivers dangerous crosses. I like Nick Woltemade a lot. Despite his size, he has exceptional technique and is a clever striker. I still know Romano Schmid from Salzburg. He's a really good guy and player. Marvin Ducksch is in great shape. They have a lot of good footballers in their ranks and have been in good form over the last few weeks. We know what's coming. Nevertheless, the task for the team is clear: We want to win the game in front of our spectators and deliver a strong performance.”

Werner's view on Leipzig

“It will be a difficult away game. It’s important to cut out any mistakes on the ball and to keep things tight. We know how difficult a task it is, but we want to leave everything out there and win the game. I’m not somebody who tends to dream, but I’m somebody that believes in their team. We now have something to play for, but we need two good performances and two positive results.”

Watch for balls into the box

Bremen lead the division for goals from crosses from open play (10), followed by Leipzig (nine). David Raum leads the way in that regard with six goals from his crosses; Mitchell Weiser comes second with five.
