Straining Werder Bremen III need to pull off a surprise win when they host hard-driving Union Bremen in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 4th and the home fans will have low confidence.

- Union Bremen have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Union Bremen have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 1-1-1 (win-draw-loss) from three matches.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
