Werder Bremen form and stats

The visitors are W1-D3-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Bundesliga. Werder Bremen has showed their ability to avoid defeat with five draws in a row, but are also dodging victories. They last avoided the draw 49 days ago, in the RB Leipzig fixture. One point away has become something of a habit for Werder Bremen who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Werder Bremen delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Freiburg (placed 7th) in their previous match; a Bundesliga game. Before that, Werder Bremen secured a home win against Heidenheim with the score 4-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Werder Bremen playing away, we found three games. Results were 0 away wins, 2 draws and 1 home win.

Werder Bremen have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 10 goals from 5 away matches. The Werder Bremen manager F. Kohfeldt has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
