Werder Bremen’s campaign so far has seen them accrue 18 points this season

Can Werder make it three out of three, having turned over Hertha 1-0 and SC Freiburg 2-0 in their last two games?

Also, Werder keep finding ways to win, having secured three victories in their last five meetings is astonishing this season. Their position is eighth in the League and they have 18 points, that is, 5W, 4L and 3D having won five fixtures, drawn three games, and lost four matches.

Playing at home, Werder have won two fixtures, drawn one game, and lost three meetings.

Winning this fixture will see Werder Bremen on 21 points.

Good Attacking Performance

Werder will be pleased to have a good goal scoring record so far this season (21). This season, their stand-out attacking players have been Niclas Fullkrug (9), Marvin Ducksch (2), and Oliver Burke (2). Teams that leak goals on a consistent basis, don’t tend to win anything, such is the situation with Werder so far, having conceded 18 goals in their last games so far.

Injury and illness have depleted Ole Werner’s Werder and they will likely be missing two key personnel for Saturday’s match.

Nervous Schalke take relegation battle to the Wohninvest Weserstadion to face Werder Bremen

Returning to match-winning form, following a defeat is always a tough challenge, but that is what Schalke need now, after their loss to SC Freiburg at Veltins-Arena.

Also, getting out of a relegation battle requires a string of positive results, but Thomas Reis’s men know that six losses in six matches is a run of form that will be hard to turn around. Now they have 1 matches won, 8 games lost and 3 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in eighteenth place, with a total of six points having won one game, drawn three fixtures, and lost eight matches.

Schalke now travel, knowing that their current away form is woeful. So far this season they have drawn two meetings and lost four fixtures matches on the road.

A win in this fixture, would take Schalke’s points from 6 to 9, so far this season.

Schalke’s squad has depth, but even so, Thomas Reis is likely to be missing six of they key players when they start Saturday’s game.
