Venue: Weserstadion Platz 11 (5500 seats)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the Bundesliga, Werder Bremen holding 17th place and Köln lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Relegation threatens Werder who should definitely be looking for some points here. For Köln most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

Werder Bremen form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Bundesliga this season. Werder Bremen have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 12 losses from their games here at Weserstadion Platz 11. Werder are slowly digging their own grave here at Weserstadion Platz 11 with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in 14 attempts. The last victory here came in the Augsburg match.

Werder are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Mainz 05. Before that game, the home loss against Bayern München with the scoreline 0-1.

Werder Bremen's goalkeeper Jiří Pavlenka was extremely busy against Mainz 05, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning eight saves.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Werder's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won zero matches, drawn one and lost two.

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 16 games). Werder have conceded 35 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Köln form and stats

There's been little loot from Köln's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 16 away games in the Bundesliga. Köln only have 4 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 2 draws.

Köln delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Eintracht Frankfurt (placed 9th) in their previous match; a Bundesliga game. A 1-3 defeat away at Bayer Leverkusen before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Köln when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing one and winning zero games.

Köln have scored 22 goals on their travels this season, from 16 away games in the league. The Köln manager M. Gisdol has some worries about the defense as 36 goals have been conceded in these travels.
