With their 7 point advantage in the league table, Werder Bremen fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Köln.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Werder Bremen form and stats
Overall Bundesliga stats at home this season for Werder Bremen are 1-1-1 (wins-draw-losses). The last three games played by Werder, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.
Werder travelled for their previous game, a trip to Eintracht Frankfurt that ended 1-1. Before that, Werder Bremen drew at home versus Hoffenheim.
The Werder goalkeeper Jiří Pavlenka was crucial in the match against Eintracht Frankfurt last time out, making six saves.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Werder have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won zero, drawn two and lost five.
The Werder fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Werder Bremen have conceded 5 from these games.
Köln form and stats
The Bundesliga season is young and Köln have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Bundesliga home defeat versus Bayern München with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A 1-1 draw at Stuttgart's stadium before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Köln playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were two Köln wins, zero draws and three defeats.
It's early days yet, but Köln has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
