There's still a chance: SV Werder Bremen don't have total control over their own fate ahead of the final day of the 2019/20 season. Should Fortuna beat 1. FC Union Berlin, then a Bremen win wouldn't matter. So all Green-and-White hopes are pinned on "Iron Union", if Werder are to be in with a chance of clawing back the two-point deficit. But there is still a very real chance that Werder can overtake their Rhineland rivals, and end the season in the relegation playoff spot. And this chance must be taken. "We're not without hope. We need two points and a goal difference swing of four. Therefore, we're still highly motivated," said Florian Kohfeldt.
No goodbyes: "We've decided not to say our goodbyes to any players on Saturday. We still don't know if it'll be our final game of the season, and want to do it when the conditions for it are perfect. An empty stadium is not the best place to say goodbye to beloved players," Frank Baumann said. The most prominent departure is certainly that of Claudio Pizarro, who will receive a noteworthy send-off in the form of a farewell game in the WESERSTADION.
Officials: Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the DFB has decided that the officials for the game will be announced on the day of the game itself.
