SV Werder Bremen vs. FC Koln

SV Werder Bremen is ranked #17 in the 18-team Bundesliga, getting outscored 68-32. The minus-32 goal differential is second-worst in the league, as is their defense. They have home field for this one but will be without wing-back  Theodor Gebre Selassie, who suffered an ankle injury and is doubtful. Koln is in town with three wins and two draws in its last nine road games. That included wins over ninth-ranked Eintracht Frankfurt (4-2), 10th-ranked Hertha BSC (5-0), Paderborn (2-1), and a 1-1 draw at Augsburg. Play Koln on the Asian Handicap.
