Werder Bremen
Sokratis and Naldo will start at centre-back again. At right-back, Aleksandar Stevanovic could get another chance, allowing Clemens Fritz to play in midfield. Mehmet Ekici and Marko Marin are injured, meaning Aaron Hunt could start in central attacking midfield.
Probable lineups : Wiese, Schmitz, Naldo, Sokratis, Stevanovic, Junuzovic, Trybull, Fritz, Hunt, Rosenberg, Pizarro. (4-3-1-2).
Benedikt Höwedes will most likely start at centre-back this time, with
Kyriakos Papadopoulos and Christoph Metzelder both injured. Julian Draxler and Lewis Holtby compete for the spot on the left wing,
although the latter is an option to start alongside Jermaine Jones as
well.Probable lineups : Unnerstall, Uchida, Höwedes, Matips, Fuchs, Jones, Hoger, Farfan, Raul, Holtby, Huntelaar. (4-2-3-1).

Prediction
Bremen still have a slight chance to qualify for Europe with a win. The players will be highly motivated to make that possible, but need to hope for help from other teams.
Schalke have already secured the third spot, meaning their last game of the season is of little importance to them.
Expect Bremen to try to control the game at home and Schalke to rely on counter-attacks.
Werder Bremen 2 - 1 Schalke 04
