Werder Bremen - Paderborn
Werder Bremen aim to maintain momentum against Paderborn
Werder Bremen look to extend their recent unbeaten run as they welcome Paderborn to the Wohninvest WESERSTADION on 17 October 2026 for this Bundesliga matchday 6 clash. The hosts arrive in steady form following a resilient 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund, a result that highlights their ability to compete with the league's elite. While the expected XI for Bremen remains focused on the attacking trio of Niclas Fuellkrug, Marco Gruell, and Eren Dinkci, the defensive unit must adjust to the absence of Amos Pieper, who is sidelined with an injury.
Paderborn travel to the coast seeking a response after their recent 2-0 defeat to VfB Stuttgart halted their progress. Their campaign has been marked by inconsistency, including a notable 3-1 victory over Hoffenheim last month. With Stefano Marino and Marvin Pieringer expected to lead the line, the visitors will look to exploit any gaps left by the Bremen backline.
