Season ticket holders at Weserstadion haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Werder Bremen languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Union Berlin will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
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, 2 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Weserstadion. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Werder Bremen fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Augsburg game long ago, can be stopped today.
Werder Bremen lost their last game at Augsburg (placed 9th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home game against Hoffenheim that was lost 0-3.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Werder Bremen have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won five times, drawn two and lost zero.

Union Berlin form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Union Berlin so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-7 (win-draw-lose). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Union Berlin are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Union Berlin, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-5 versus Borussia Dortmund (placed 3rd). Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Augsburg.
Union Berlin lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.
