Both teams are sitting on mid-table of their own league and have no chance of getting hold of UEFA Cup position. It is interesting to see how they will try to achieve their best result in this UEFA Cup to be able to compete in European competition next season. The winners of this tie will meet either Hamburg or Manchester City in the semi final.
Werder Bremen
Bremen haven’t lost a single match to Italian teams this season. They won against Inter Milan in Champions League group stage and eliminated AC Milan in UEFA Cup. In contrary, their form in domestic competition this year is far from their best, they struggle because of injuries and suspensions of their key players.
Udinese
Udinese are the only Italian team left in Europe. Despite bringing a pride for their country, they have not won any single away match in all competitions since November last year! Their poor away form will be even worse with the absence of their captain Antonio Di Natale until end of this season.

Team News
Frank Baumann will be back into the lineup after a one-match ban, while Markus Rosenberg still in doubt because of back injury. Should he plays, he will be partnered with Claudio Pizarro.
Meanwhile, Udinese will be without captain Di Natale and goalkeeper Samir Handanovic. However, Maurizio Domizzi will return from suspension. Striker Fabio Quagliarella is also available and Floro Flores is also expected to recover from injury
Prediction
Udinese have lost all of their last three UEFA Cup matches away from home. I believe that trend will continue tonight.
My prediction: WERDER BREMEN -3/4 @ SBOBet
