Key Players to Watch: Werder Bremen vs Union Berlin

Andrej Ilič (Union Berlin): The Union forward is a key creative and attacking force for his team. Although his own goal-scoring tally might not be the highest, Ilič leads Union in the assists chart for the season and is a primary driver of their attack. He creates big chances and has a high expected goals and expected assists total. His ability to link up play and generate opportunities makes him the central figure Werder's defense will need to contain.

Romano Schmid (Werder Bremen): Schmid is a potent source of goals and creativity in the Werder attack. He is among Werder's top goalscorers for the season and leads the team in both expected goals and chances created. Operating in the final third, Schmid's technical ability, shot volume, and knack for creating opportunities for his teammates make him the most influential player to watch for the home side.

Ilyas Ansah (Union Berlin): Ansah is Union Berlin's leading goalscorer for the season and boasts an impressive goal-per-90-minutes rate. He is a direct and dangerous threat, possessing high speed and demonstrating a strong ability to beat defenders with successful dribbles. With four goals to his name already, Ansah's pace and clinical finishing make him a constant danger on the counter-attack, and a likely candidate to find the back of the net if he gets an inch of space.
