Werder Bremen form and stats

Werder Bremen have collected 7 points from their Bundesliga home games so far after 2-1-3.

A nice win for Werder last time playing, versus Hertha BSC. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Füllkrug scoring for the victors. Jung (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.61/10. Jung served one assist and hit one key pass.

Prior to that, an away loss at Freiburg.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Werder Bremen as they are travelling to their away game against Bayern München in the Bundesliga. That match is three days after this one.

A decent goal production from Werder Bremen in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 6 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Werder defense is not exactly impregnable. 10 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Schalke 04 form and stats

There's been little loot from Schalke 04's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 6 away games in the Bundesliga. Schalke 04 only have 0 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws. With the Schalke 04 losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

The manager Reis was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue VELTINS-Arena. Schalke suffered a 0-2 loss to Freiburg (placed 3rd). Schalke 04 goalkeeper Schwolow took pride in a great day at work vs Freiburg, but even with achieving six saves the beating could not be evaded. Defender Matriciani was the best team player with a rating of 7.3. Matriciani won 3 of 4 duels.

Prior to that match, the Schalke 04 manager Reis faced defeat when travelling to Hertha BSC and losing 1-2.

A quick return to home after this game, as Schalke 04 are hosting Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga only four days away.

Goals are few and far between in Schalke's away league games. Only {3 goals} from 6 travels. In the opposite end, Schalke 04 have conceded 11 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Werder Bremen have avoided a loss in the last 5 games (3-2-0) against Schalke 04.
