Erzgebirge Aue form and stats

Erzgebirge Aue's struggle is real here at Sparkassen-Erzgebirgsstadion with only 12 points collected from 16 2. Bundesliga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-3-10.

Erzgebirge Aue lost their last game at Darmstadt 98 (placed 2nd) after a 0-6 scoreline. Erzgebirge were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Midfield player Hochscheidt got a match rating of 6.55 in that game, the max score being 10. Hochscheidt hit two key passes.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Hansa Rostock.

Erzgebirge Aue aren't scoring a lot here at Sparkassen-Erzgebirgsstadion in the league, with only 14 goals from 16 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Erzgebirge defense is not exactly impregnable. 31 goals conceded from 16 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Werder Bremen form and stats

The visitors, who have the most scored goals (33) away in 2. Bundesliga, are W9-D3-L4 on the road this term. That's in the 2. Bundesliga.

Werder Bremen might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Holstein Kiel proved too strong as Werder Bremen slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Weserstadion. A huge disappointment for Werder in their last match (vs Holstein Kiel). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat. Ducksch, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.7. Ducksch scored one goal, hit five key passes and had 25 successful passes (of 29 total).

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Schalke 04 at their stadium, the result 4-1.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Werder Bremen are regular goalscorers on their travels. Werder's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 26 goals from these trips.
