Werder Bremen form and stats

Werder goalkeeper Jiří Pavlenka did an outstanding job against Freiburg with seven saves, so vital to securing the victory.
There will be little rest for Werder after this match as they are travelling to Schalke 04 for a Bundesliga game in only four days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Werder here at Weserstadion Platz 11 in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 12 games). As for conceded goals, Werder's unpleasant statistic is 30 goals surrendered.
