Hertha BSC are welcoming Werder Bremen for another important game after their 3-3 result against 16th-placed Fortuna Dusseldorf.

The visiting Werder Bremen played their last game only three days ago, a DFB Pokal match. That game was also an away game, at Eintracht Frankfurt. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Hertha BSC form and stats

With 3 Bundesliga wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Hertha BSC are certainly not brimming with confidence. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Hertha BSC, their manager A. Nouri and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

An away draw last time out for Hertha BSC, facing Fortuna Dusseldorf in a game that ended 3-3. Preceding that match was the home game against Köln that was lost 0-5.

Hertha BSC salvaged the draw from a difficult situation against Fortuna Dusseldorf, trailing 0-3 at one point. Not giving up resulted in Krzysztof Piątek equalizing. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

This is expected to be a close game, with Hertha BSC perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hertha BSC as a small favourite), we find eight games. Hertha BSC has won two of these, drawn three and lost three.

Hertha BSC are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 12 games. Hertha BSC are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (26 from 12 played).

Werder Bremen form and stats

Werder Bremen, who have the most conceded goals (53) in Bundesliga, have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Bundesliga, after 3-3-6 (12 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Werder Bremen who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Fortuna Dusseldorf 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 337 minutes.

Two away games in a row for Werder Bremen, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Eintracht Frankfurt in the DFB Pokal. A loss against Borussia Dortmund was the result prior to that, in a Bundesliga home game.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Werder Bremen in our archives, and the results are: six wins for Werder Bremen, one draw and two defeats.

Werder Bremen are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 17 away goals from 12 games (in the league). The Werder Bremen manager F. Kohfeldt has some worries about the defense as 27 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Werder Bremen - Hertha BSC 1-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Hertha BSC zero wins, six draws and Werder Bremen four victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), eight games had two or less.
