Werder Bremen form and stats

2 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Werder Bremen have to build on here at wohninvest WESERSTADION in the 2. Bundesliga. Werder Bremen have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

The fans are hoping that Werder will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the 2. Bundesliga game against Holstein Kiel (placed 12th). Werder's goalkeeper Jiří Pavlenka was extremely busy against Holstein Kiel, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves. Midfielder Leonardo Bittencourt was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.84 (out of ten) in that game. Bittencourt hit five key passes.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Schalke 04.

Werder are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. Werder have conceded 9 in these home matches.

Erzgebirge Aue form and stats

There's been little loot from Erzgebirge Aue's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the 2. Bundesliga. Erzgebirge Aue only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 3 draws.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a 2. Bundesliga home defeat versus Darmstadt 98 with 1-2 on the scoreboard. It is a bit troubling for Erzgebirge that their keeper Martin Männel pulled off six saves in the Darmstadt 98 fixture, but still could not save them from a loss. Midfielder Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.33. Kuhn hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 5 of 6 times.

Prior to that result Erzgebirge won their away game at Hansa Rostock. The scoreline was 2-1.

Erzgebirge Aue have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 7 goals have been scored. In the opposite end, Erzgebirge have conceded 11 goals in their away games.
