57th min: Jung gets in the way of a free-kick and gets a yellow card.
Werder Bremen in the live ticker against RB Leipzig: Great chance for Schmid
55th min: Best Werder chance! Bremen combines well through. A flat pass from the right side comes to Romano Schmid via detours. He pulls off from 16 meters. The ball hisses halfway up just past the goal.
54th min: Ducksch looks for Schmid with a high ball. But he is in a losing position against the two Leipzig central defenders.
52nd min: Konrad Laimer gets a free shot from a good 20 yards. Pavlenka dives. Good parade.

46th min: The second half is underway.
18:33 p.m.: The teams have returned to the pitch. In a few moments, the second half will continue.
18:22 p.m.: This point would be enough for Werder to stay in the league. The lead over 16th place, on which Schalke stands, is "only" six points in the live table. However, Bremen have the 23-goal better goal difference. The Royal Blues couldn't make up for that.
Werder Bremen in the live ticker against RB Leipzig: No goals at half-time
18:17 p.m.: And then it's half-time. Werder defend that away quite neatly. The visitors were lucky twice when Timo Werner and Konrad Laimer made it 1-0 for RB. Otherwise, RB has a lot of the ball, but rarely gets through the compact Werder defense.
45th min: One minute of injury time.
42nd min: Szoboszlai shoots a corner kick from the left side straight onto goal. The ball hits the outside post and then goes into the AUus.

36th min: Henrichs fouls Weiser in a half-right position 25 yards from the Leipzig goal. The Leipziger gets yellow. Free kick for Werder. He flies back into Blaswich's arms. Ducksch had explained.
34th min: Laimer sends off Nkunku. Fortunately, the Frenchman has problems receiving the ball. That could have been a great opportunity.
31st min: RB Leipzig play the ball around the Bremen penalty area. Werner crosses, Simakan heads narrowly over. However, the Leipzig player is just offside.
29th min: The impacts are getting closer. Guests are rarely able to free themselves.

25th min: Benny Henrichs tries from distance. The ball hisses two meters over the goal.
24th min: Werder have to blow through first. Those were two good chances for the hosts.
Werder Bremen in the live ticker against RB Leipzig: Two good chances for RB

20th min: Big chance for Leipzig. Timo Werner is sent off and takes the ball superbly with his left and finishes with his right, just over
18th min: Weiser gets through well against Forsberg on the halfway line and can only be stopped by a foul by the Swede.
15th min: Decent opportunity for Werder. Weiser flanks from the right. In the middle, Schmid almost prevails over the taller Simakan. In the end, the Leipzig player fakes to the corner. These are clarified by the hosts.
14th min: Werder are by no means at the back. The Werner team attacks early, Leipzig can hardly develop.
11th min: RB are trying to get the game under control. But Werder is holding up well.
8th min: First finish of the hosts. Haidara is served by Nkunku. His finish from just under 20 yards is safely intercepted by Pavlenka.
7th min: Werder are doing quite well and are playing well here. RB didn't get in front of the Werder goal yet.
4th min: Now the first free kick for Bremen. Ducksch crosses from the half-field, but too harmlessly. RB keeper Blaswich intercepts.
3. min. First good attack of SV Werder. On the right, the guests combine well through. Weiser's cross is blocked. First corner for Werder.
2nd min: And immediately you can see which team wants to make the game here. RB immediately steps on the gas.

1st min: The game is on.
Werder Bremen in the live ticker against RB Leipzig: The match is on
17:28 p.m.: And there they come. In a few moments, referee Florian Badstübner from Nuremberg blows the whistle for the game.
17:26 p.m.: Four minutes left until kick-off. The players are ready in the players' tunnel. Can Werder pull off a surprise and win in Leipzig? The guests would certainly also like to take a draw with them here.
17:23 p.m.: The form curves of the two teams look quite different. While RB have won their last three competitive games (including the DFB-Pokal semi-finals), Werder have lost two of their last three games. Only in Berlin there was a 4-2 victory.
17.19 CET: Good for Werder: Dani Olmo cannot play for the hosts today. The attacking player has been in impressive form recently. He is out due to muscular problems.
17:16 p.m.: In a little less than a quarter of an hour it starts here. And the people of Bremen can once again look forward to the great and vociferous support of its spectators. 5500 fans from the Osterdeich are expected in the Red Bull Arena.
17:12 p.m.: Werner also explains why Christian Groß is absent and why Gruev replaces him. "Grosso has a effusion in his knee. He is on the match report sheet, but will not be able to play. Ilia has always performed well in recent weeks and deserves to play here today."
17:09 p.m.: Werder coach Ole Werner is now on the microphone at dazn and comments on the starting position in the relegation battle: "We are promoted and have been in the relegation battle all season. We've established a good starting position, but we've still not scored enough points in recent weeks. We always have to expect that it will go all the way to the last matchday and we want to put the lid on it today."
17.00 pm: Werder can breathe a little more again. Bayer Leverkusen drew 1-1 with VfB Stuttgart. The lead over 16th place is again a more reassuring five points.
Werder Bremen in the live ticker against RB Leipzig: Saxony have never lost a home game against newly promoted teams
16:58 p.m.: Fun fact: RB Leipzig have played 26 home games against newly promoted Bundesliga side so far. Of these, they did not lose a single one (23 wins, 3 draws). Werder want to change that today.
16:54 p.m.: Incidentally, the record of this still quite young Bundesliga encounter between Leipzig and Werder does not look good for the North Germans. Werder won only two of the twelve duels. RB won nine times. In Leipzig, Werder didn't get anything at all. In five away games with the Saxons, it always set a defeat, with a goal difference of 3:13 goals.
16:49 p.m.: And now VfB are taking the lead. As a result, the Swabians jump to 15th place, Werder's lead over 16th Bochum is four points, and five points over 17th Schalke. So it remains exciting in the relegation battle, on for SV Werder. A plus for the Green-Whites is the goal difference, which is more than 20 goals better than Bochum and Schalke.
16.45 pm: In the earlier Bundesliga match, the score between VfB Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen was 55-0 after 0 minutes. This would put VfB in 17th place with 29 points. Werder are on 35 points.
16:42 p.m.: The game is of great importance for both teams. While Werder can finally secure their place in the league with their victory, RB Leipzig want to take a big step towards qualifying for the Champions League.
16.36: And this is how Marco Rose will bring the home team into the game: Blaswich - Simakan, Klostermann, Orban, Hernichs - Laimer, Haidara - Szoboszlai, Forsberg - Werner, Nkunku. Nyland (ET), Diallo, Gvardiol, Halstenberg, Raum, Kampl, Schlager, Poulsen, Silva will be on the bench for the time being.
16:34 p.m.: Christian Groß is out at short notice due to knee problems. Gruev replaces him in the center in front of the defense.
16:33 p.m.: On the bench of Bremen: Zetterer, Philipp, Dinkci, Schmidt, Buchanan, Mbom and Chiarodia.

Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig - the preview:
So close to the goal: SV Werder Bremen can make it clear against RB Leipzig that they will stay in the league
SV Werder Bremen have to play away at RB Leipzig on Sunday (17.30 CET, DeichStube live ticker). Will the Green-Whites pull off a surprise and thus stay in the Bundesliga early? The preliminary report of the DeichStube.
Whether he will explicitly pronounce it as a ban to his team, Ole Werner has not revealed. And yet the head coach of SV Werder Bremen underlined more than clearly on Friday what he definitely doesn't want to see in the team hotel shortly before the upcoming away game at RB Leipzig: a running TV.
It will certainly "not be switched on two hours before our game," said Werner, which should mean something like: What VfB Stuttgart does on Sunday from 15.30 CET in its home game against Bayer Leverkusen does not matter to Werder Bremen. As a reminder, if VfL Bochum, who host FC Augsburg on Saturday, and Stuttgart lose their games, Werder would be assured of relegation before kick-off at RB Leipzig. Which, of course, is what everyone in the club is hoping for. But understandably, they don't want to say it. After all, a look at the competition on this 32nd matchday should not distract from the essentials, i.e. one's own performance.
Werder Bremen in the live ticker against RB Leipzig: The back three must be rebuilt once again
"Everything that happens on other pitches is out of our hands. That's why we're only looking at our game, because we can't influence anything else," said Ole Werner, whose SV Werder Bremen faces one of the most difficult tasks in German professional football at the moment. Of the last five games, the Leipzig team under coach Marco Rose have won four, most recently the direct and enormously important duel in the fight for a Champions League qualifying place against SC Freiburg. RB Leipzig had also beaten the Breisgau side in the DFB-Pokal semi-finals shortly before, so that they will play Eintracht Frankfurt in the final for the fourth time in the past five years on 3 June. "Leipzig are a top team. They have a lot of individual quality in all positions and very few injuries at the moment, which was noticeable in their game in recent weeks," said Werner. Above all, the offensive of the third in the table has it all.
Christopher Nkunku, Timo Werner, Dani Olmo, Dominik Szoboszlai – these are all players who can make the difference at any time. "For us, it's about defending well and knowing that there isn't always a clear solution for everything," said Werner – explaining: "Leipzig's players are able to resolve things with their individual quality, even if you do well as a team or as an individual." Against this background, it is all the more bitter for Werder Bremen that two defenders are missing in Amos Pieper (certainly) and Milos Veljkovic (perhaps). Werner will probably have to rebuild his back three against RB Leipzig.
Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig in the live ticker: Will coach Ole Werner's team manage to stay in the league?
And yet: Werder Bremen is optimistic about the game against RB Leipzig, against whom they had a narrow 1-2 defeat in the first half of the season. Where does the confidence come from? "First and foremost, because we showed against Bayern Munich that we have a chance even against strong teams if we defend compactly and look for our moments," said Werner. In fact, Werder Bremen had kept up well against the record champions and repeatedly set pinpricks. They now want to build on this in Leipzig in front of around 5500 Bremen fans, who are expected in the Red Bull Arena.
And either in the knowledge that they still need points for the final relegation, or with the pleasant feeling of having already been saved - because the result from Bochum anyway and also the one from Stuttgart should have spread to the professionals of SV Werder Bremen despite the TV being switched off before kick-off.
