Leonardo Bittencourt Faces Former Club Werder Bremen in Cottbus Friendly

Leonardo Bittencourt Werder Bremen Energie Cottbus friendly match livestream

On Saturday, 1 August 2026, 2. Liga side Energie Cottbus will host Bundesliga club Werder Bremen in a pre‑season test match at the LEAG Energie Stadion. Former Werder midfielder Leonardo Bittencourt, now with Cottbus, described the encounter as feeling "like a training game" because he knows the opposition well.

The match serves as a preparation hurdle for both teams: Cottbus seeks to build confidence before its league campaign, while Werder aims to fine‑tune tactics ahead of the Bundesliga season. Injuries affect both sides; Bremen are missing several players after a recent training spate, and Cottbus will be without new signings Ryan Malone and Fousseny Doumbia, as well as captain Axel Borgmann, who is still sidelined. The game will be streamed for free on Werder Bremen's official YouTube channel and also broadcast on Werder TV. Coach Daniel Thioune plans to use the fixture to test formations and increase intensity.
