With 1 Bundesliga win, 3 draws and 11 defeats from their home games, Werder Bremen are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The last victory here came in the Augsburg match.
Werder Bremen enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Paderborn's place. The match ended 5-1 with Yuya Osako, Davy Klaassen (2), Maximilian Eggestein and Niclas Füllkrug scoring. Ahead of that match, Werder lost 0-1 at home to Wolfsburg.
As mentioned above, Werder "killed" Paderborn in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Jiří Pavlenka loved the game against Paderborn. With a stunning six saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 5-1 victory.
Werder are traveling soon after this match as the Bundesliga match at Mainz 05 awaits in four days.
