Werder Bremen form and stats

A 2. Bundesliga draw at home so far for Werder Bremen. Last season their home statistics were 3 wins, 5 draws and 9 defeats from 17 matches. With seven home 2. Bundesliga games in a row without a win, the Werder fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Eintracht Frankfurt game long ago, can be stopped today.

Werder are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Osnabruck. Midfield player Niklas Schmidt got a match rating of 7.53 in that game, the max score being 10. Schmidt hit six key passes and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 2 times.

In the preceding match a 3-2 victory visiting Fortuna Düsseldorf.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Werder have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won four times, drawn three and lost one.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Werder Bremen at home in the league. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Paderborn form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first 2. Bundesliga away game of the season. During their previous season 17 away games resulted in 4 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats.

Paderborn are travelling again after losing away to Dynamo Dresden in their previous match (1-2). Julian Justvan got a match rating of 7.63 in that game, top player of the team. Justvan hit three key passes and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A draw for Paderborn before that, at their own venue hosting Nurnberg (2-2).

Paderborn are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, four draws and two defeats. From a total of seven matches.

Paderborn have the goal stats of 0-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head
