Bundesliga 2025-2026: Leipzig-Werder Bremen, the likely lineups

Sunday’s Bundesliga 11th day opens with the match between Leipzig and Werder Bremen. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. at the Red Bull Arena. The hosts go on the hunt for redemption after the knockout loss to Hoffenheim. The opposite is the case for Werder, which has regained enthusiasm thanks to its home success over Wolfsburg and is chasing its sixth useful result in a row.

Werner opts for the Diomande-Romulo-Nusa trident. Seiwald in the booth in midfield, while Ouedraogo and Baumgartner will act as midwings’wings. In defense Orban will pair with Lukeba, between the posts Raum.

Steffen is banking on Boniface in attack, supported by Grull, Schmid and the’former Juventus Mbangula in the three-quarter. Confirmed Stage and Lynen in midfield, while in defense Sugawara and Friedl will man the flanks.
