The excitement and adrenaline is increasing as Werder Bremen hope to finally bag the long awaited three points in their relegation battle. A victory would mean the Green-Whites would not be relegated directly. And Bremen are shooting for that on Saturday 11 May 2013 in the final home match of the season against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Did you know ...

... that Bremen have not beaten Frankfurt in their last five matches? In the last five match-ups against Frankfurt, SVW have only picked up two draws with three defeats.

... that Frankfurt have picked up more victories against Werder than against any other team? Eintracht Frankfurt have won 30 Bundesliga matches the Green-Whites - the most for Eintracht along with their showings against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

... that a victory would be unbelievable important for both teams? The three points could mean that Bremen avoid relegation - depending on other results. With a victory, Frankfurt would secure a spot in at least the Europa League for next season - the first European competition since 2006-07.

... that Aaron Hunt scored Bremen's quickest Bundesliga goal of the season against Hoffenheim? Werder's top scorer tallied after one minute and 15 seconds. Only Nils Petersen has scored 11 goals - like Hunt.

... that Thomas Schaaf will celebrate his 14-year anniversary one day before the Frankfurt match? Schaaf has trained the Green-Whites since 10 May 1999. He's missing only 87 days to pass the Bundesliga record of Otto Rehhagel. On 11 May 1999, Schaaf saved Werder from relegation, beating Schalke 1-0 back then.
