Full-time: Wolfsburg 2-4 Werder Bremen

The home side started well and went ahead through Tiago Tomás, in a half where the opposition struggled to create anything of note. That was until Ducksch found Weiser for a brilliant equaliser not long before half-time. Bremen started the second-half as they ended the first, on the front foot, and soon found themselves ahead through Agu. Wolfsburg then capitulated by conceding two and going down to ten men, before pulling a late goal back through Maehle.

Tale of two halves

Having looked assured throughout the first-half, Wolfsburg have been the complete opposite in the second. They have not responded well to Bremen's intensity and now find themselves with ten men and a three goal deficit.

The frantic pace of these opening minutes has led to chances for both sides.

Watch: Bremen 0-2 Wolfsburg - previous meeting

When these two met at the Volkswagen Arena in the 2023/24 season, it ended all square in a 2-2 draw. In the return game, Wolfsburg took the spoils to give Ralph Hasenhüttl his first win in charge.

Perfectly balanced Bremen

Bremen are another side with two victories, two draws and two losses to show for the season so far. Interestingly, both those wins have come on the road.

Wolfsburg on the right track

Wolfsburg's three losses this season have come against Bayern Munich, Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen, three of the league's top five. While they'll want to show they're capable of beating the best teams, they didn't perform badly and come into the fixture unbeaten in two.
