Werder Bremen host Bayer Leverkusen at the Weserstadion on Monday evening hoping to gather the points they need to reignite their Bundesliga survival hopes.
Die Werderaner are floundering just one place above bottom in the German top-flight and with nine points between them and safety, they are running out of time to avoid their first relegation since 1980.
For Peter Bosz’s talented Bayer Leverkusen outfit, Champions League qualification is the aim in 2019/20, and having watched RB Leipzig drop points at home to Freiburg on Saturday, Die Werkself have an opportunity to cut the gap between them and fourth spot to just one point in Bremen.
Werder and Bayer played out a thrilling 2-2 draw when they last met in the reverse Bundesliga fixture between the clubs in October – and Monday’s rematch promises to be just as enthralling.
