Werder will be hoping to start the new year as they ended the last when Union Berlin visits Bremen on Saturday.
Werder striker and USA international Sargent signed off for 2020 with his third goal of the season in a 3-0 win over Hannover 96 in the DFB Cup second round just before Christmas. That came shortly after he helped the Green-Whites to a 1-0 Bundesliga victory in Mainz that has given Florian Kohfeldt's side breathing room as they seek to avoid another relegation battle. Sargent should lead the line again as Bremen go in search of just a fourth league triumph in 2020/21, and he could be joined by four-goal top scorer Niclas Fülllkrug, who has only played five times this term due to injury. Fellow forward Davie Selke is another option up top after also returning to training, but attacking midfielder Milot Rashica will play no part due to a thigh strain.
Bremen also had 14 points on the board after 13 matches last season, ultimately surviving via the relegation play-offs. Werder is winless in their last four home games (D2, L2). Theo Gebre Selassie is set to pass Claudio Pizarro as the Green-Whites' record non-German appearance maker on 251 Bundesliga outings.
Bremen: Pavlenka - Gebre Selassie (c), Groß, Toprak, Augustinsson - Mbom, Möhwald, Eggestein - Bittencourt, Sargent, Osako
Out: Rashica (thigh)
Doubtful: Friedl (knock), Selke (thigh)
Coach: Florian Kohfeldt
Visitors Union are still without talismanic striker Max Kruse, whose six goals and five assists helped lift the capital city club to sixth before the winter break. The 32-year-old is sidelined with a thigh injury, so Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi - who has impressed in Kruse's absence with four goals in six games - should start again.
Having beaten Borussia Dortmund and drawn with Bayern Munich in December, Urs Fischer's side will be confident as they prepare for their first outing in 2021. All the more so considering that only Bayern (39) and Bayer Leverkusen (28) have scored more goals than Union (27) so far. Of those, a league-high nine have come from headers, with set-piece specialist Christopher Trimmel providing six assists and center-back Marvin Friedrich scoring four goals.
Union: Luthe - Trimmel (c), Friedrich, Knoche, Lenz - Prömel, Andrich - Becker, Ingvartsen, Bülter - Awoniyi
Out: Kruse (thigh), Pohjanpalo (ankle), Ujah (knee)
Doubtful: Gentner (muscular), Schlotterbeck (thigh)
Coach: Urs Fischer

The Berlin team won in Bremen last season, and have lost only one of six on the road so far this term, so Union not to lose this game is our favorable betting option.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
