The Bundesliga clash between Bremen and Gladbach promised excitement, with both teams eyeing crucial points ahead of the season’s run-in. Bremen, buoyed by their surprising victory against champions Bayer Leverkusen last week, were looking to build on that momentum. Gladbach, under the guidance of coach Gerardo Seoane, arrived with European ambitions, knowing a win could catapult them into contention for continental football next season. Ole Werner’s Bremen side faced the challenge without the suspended Mitchell Weiser, while the visitors welcomed back Joe Scally and Ko Itakura from suspension.
