No-one who really knows football would ever pay too much attention to statistics before a game, but the fans still very much enjoy crunching the numbers. For the sake of our users, WERDER.DE has gone rummaging through the history books in order to help forge a prediction:
Werder to inflict the 100th Bundesliga defeat on Felix Magath with a free-kick, from over 18 minutes out, in the 12th minute.
The match stats:
- Bremen and Wolfsburg have scored more often than any other side from set pieces (14 times apiece).
- Werder have scored 21 of their last 24 goals at the Weser Stadium. Wolfsburg have only scored four of their last 20 goals away from home. VfL have conceded 15 of the last 18 goals against them on away turf.
- Wolfsburg have beaten Werder five times in the Bundesliga in Bremen – more often than any other team.
- None of the previous 27 meetings between the two clubs ended goalless.
- Wolfsburg have only conceded three of the last 74 goals against them in the opening quarter hour – two of those goals were scored by Bochum’s Sestak.
- Cristian Zaccardo became the eleventh player to get his name on the score-sheet for VfL this season – no other side has had as many different scorers. Last season Werder had a total of 20 different goal-scorers (a Bundesliga record).
