Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Saturday’s football game at Weserstadion pits together Werder Bremen and Borussia M’gladbach, the two teams with totally different ambitions in the season finale. Die Werderaner aim to secure the Bundesliga survival, while die Fohlen are eyeing a place in the Europa Conference League. Considering that Werder Bremen collected only one point the previous nine league fixtures, home win should not be considered.
Christian Gross will have to serve his ban against Borussia M’gladbach after he was sent off in the 2-0 loss to Augsburg. Die Fohlen have been having their ups and downs of late, but they are surely capable of beating the relegation strugglers, who are low on spirits ahead of the decider. Fit-again midfielder Lars Stindl, who found the net in the 2-1 loss to Stuttgart, is widely expected to keep his place in the starting XI, while Mamadou Doucoure and Torben Musel are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Theodor Gebre Selassie):
Born to Ethiopian father and Czech mother, Theodor Gebre Selassie was the first ever player of African descent to represent the Czech Republic national team when he was handed his debut back in 2011. The right-sided defender has since done well to nail down a regular starting berth and went on to play at the Euro 2012 and Euro 2016 finals.
Gebre Selassie represented the likes of Vysocina Jihlava, Velke Mezirici, Slavia Prague and Slovan Liberec, before the solid showing at the 2012 European Championship helped him earn a move to Werder Bremen.
The right back has performed well at the Weserstadion, but he eventually lost his place in the Czech Republic starting XI, making just three appearances during the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign. However, having amassed over 30 appearances for the national team with a proud history, he can be quite satisfied with how his international career has panned out so far, while there is still time to further raise his stock.
