It will be Game One of the post Thomas Schaaf era when SV Werder take on Nuremberg on Saturday 18 May 2013 at 3:30 p.m. The long-time coach will not sit on the Green-Whites bench for the first time in 14 years. And Werder hope to win the final match of the season - also for the former Bremen head coach.
The following data and facts show that the chances for a positive result are pretty good as well as why plenty of goals are guaranteed and how Nuremberg could be dangerous against Bremen.
Did you know ...
... that Thomas Schaaf was head coach of the Green-Whites for 14 years? The 52-year-old guided 479 Bundesliga matches on the sidelines as coach, 740 games in total with his appearances as a player. Only five coaches or players have more matches including Otto Rehhagel and Felix Magath.
... that Nuremberg have not won at home against Werder Bremen since 2006? The Green-Whites have collected three wins and two days in their last five matches in Nuremberg. Nuremberg's last home victory over Werder came in March 2006 - a 3-1 win.
... that a showdown of these teams should be a guarantee for goals? The last 0-0 draw between these teams dates back 21 years to August 1992. Nuremberg have scored more goals against Werder than against any other team. Nuremberg have tallied 81 goals against Bremen.
... that Werder have not collected three points in their last 12 matches? There have been six draws and six defeats. Should the Green-Whites lose against Nuremberg, it will be a new negative record.
... that SV Werder have collected at least nine victories in every season of their 49-year Bundesliga history? Until now, Bremen have only picked up eight victories this season, meaning they need to beat Nuremberg to keep their streak intact.
