-----------------------------------
Werder Bremen - DWLWLD
Felix Agu (Knee problems) and Keke Topp (Syndesmotic ligament tear) won’t be playing for Werder Bremen manager Ole Werner.
We think that Werder may well kick off with a 3-4-2-1 system this time and select Michael Zetterer, Niklas Stark, Marco Friedl, Anthony Jung, Mitchell Weiser, Derrick Koehn, Senne Lynen, Jens Stage, Justin Njinmah, Romano Schmid and Marvin Ducksch.
Werder Bremen prepare for this fixture after a 2-2 Bundesliga drawn game vs Stuttgart.
In that match, Werder Bremen managed 43% possession and 20 shots on goal with 6 on target. For Werder Bremen, goals were scored by Justin Njinmah (6') and Jens Stage (77'). Stuttgart had 10 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Ermedin Demirović (20', 85') was the scorer for Stuttgart.
It has not been often in recent times that Werder Bremen have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Werder Bremen have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 10 goals in the process.
Darmstadt - DWWWWD
Darmstadt manager Florian Kohfeldt has a number of players out of action. Fabian Holland (Cruciate ligament tear), Christoph Zimmermann (Knee problems), Paul Will (Cruciate ligament tear) and Matthias Bader (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be playing here.
We are inclined to think that Darmstadt will likely make use of a 4-4-2 formation by sending out Marcel Schuhen, Sergio Lopez, Clemens Riedel, Aleksandar Vukotic, Fabian Nuernberger, Philipp Foerster, Kai Klefisch, Andreas Mueller, Killian Corredor, Isac Lidberg and Fraser Hornby.
Previously, Darmstadt drew 0-0 in the Bundesliga 2 tie with Preussen Münster.
In that game, Darmstadt had 69% possession and 16 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. Preussen Munster had 4 shots on goal with 2 of them on target.
A very clinical Darmstadt have enjoyed getting themselves an absolute glut of goals in their past six games (19 to be exact). That means that they have the ominous average of 3.17 goals scored per match during this period of time. While that may be of interest, we’ll just have to find out whether that trend might be sustained in this match.
Werder Bremen possible starting lineup:
Zetterer; Malatini, Veljkovic, Jung; Weiser, Bittencourt, Lynen, Kohn; Grull, Schmid; Ducksch
SV Darmstadt 98 possible starting lineup:
Zieler; Muroya, Neumann, Halstenberg, Wdowik; Momuluh, Leopold, Christiansen, Hyun-ju; Tresoldi, Voglsammer

Prediciton: Werder Bremen 2-1 SV Darmstadt 98
It would not be surprising if Darmstadt managed to take the lead on Tuesday given their strong offensive record. However, it is difficult to see Werder Bremen losing considering the gulf in quality between the Bundesliga side and their opponents, and they should be considered strong favourites.
