This match features two teams living in the basement of the Bundesliga, Fortuna Düsseldorf holding 16th place and Werder Bremen lying 17th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Fortuna Düsseldorf form and stats
The story so far in the Bundesliga for Fortuna Düsseldorf at their home stadium (Merkur Spiel-Arena) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
Fortuna Düsseldorf's last game was hosting Union Berlin (placed 11th) and winning 2-1. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Augsburg (0-3).
The Fortuna Düsseldorf fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
Werder Bremen form and stats
Werder Bremen, who have the most conceded goals (41) in Bundesliga, have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Bundesliga, after 2-3-4 (9 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Werder Bremen who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Wolfsburg was the last time a defeat was avoided. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Werder Bremen are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
The attacking players of Werder Bremen have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 246 minutes.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Werder Bremen, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Köln (placed 15th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-5 defeat against Mainz 05.
The travelling fans enjoy Werder Bremen's attacking play in away games, having scored 15 goals in 9 league matches away. For Werder Bremen, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
