...INJURY REPORT

Xavi received a red card against Hoffenheim and is suspended for the home game against Werder Bremen. Benjamin Sesko and Eljif Elmas are training again after colds. There are still question marks behind Dani Olmo and David Raum. The final training session should reveal more. Christopher Lenz will return to full team training on Friday after slight calf problems.

...HOME RECORD

It's not that easy for me to draw a basic conclusion two matchdays before the end of the season. Because we still have two games that we want to play successfully. Overall, we had great home games. However, there were also one or two things where we left the pitch as losers. We don't want that in our stadium in front of our fans, we're not used to something like that.

...WERDER BREMEN

They're a good team with a good footballing philosophy. They have a lot of good players. Marco Friedel as captain, Mitchell Weiser at right back. Felix Agu, who puts a lot of pressure on the left side, 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 fans and deliver a strong performance.

...TEAM SPIRIT

It's unquestionable. Two weeks ago we achieved our biggest goal by qualifying for the Champions League. The boys are only human. In the weeks when we had to score, the boys delivered. It's only human that some tension might be lifted afterwards. We also know that we didn't play our best game in Hoffenheim. Nevertheless, I expect us to improve again in the last two games. We have a great team here with high quality and a strong mentality. We want to conclude the season with a good feeling, the last games are often tricky. Our mission is to conclude this season on a positive note.

...ABOUT THE MATCH

Well done to the team. We’re ambitious and want maximum success from our last two games. It will be a difficult away game. We know how difficult a task it is, but we want to leave everything out there and win the game.

...STANDINGS

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.
