Bayer Leverkusen's women team plays SV Werder Bremen today at 18:30. This game matters for their chance to reach the Champions League.
Bayer Leverkusen faces SV Werder Bremen today at 18:30. Bremen sits in third place, right ahead of Leverkusen in fourth. A win could help Leverkusen move up for a Champions League spot.
This game will test Leverkusen. Bremen has been a hard team for them in recent years. Before their last win in March, Leverkusen lost three of four games against Bremen, with one draw.
Coach Roberto Pätzold says the team must work together and keep spaces tight. Bremen has good attackers. He wants to avoid extra corners and free kicks, as Bremen scores from those.
Some Bremen players know Leverkusen well. Caroline Siems and Amira Arfaoui used to play for Leverkusen. They may try extra hard today. Leverkusen gets a boost with Friederike Repohl and Cornelia Kramer back in action.
After Bremen, Leverkusen hosts FC Bayern Munich on December 22 at Ulrich-Haberland-Stadion. That game ends the first half of the season for them.
