Take four, action! Werder's tough schedule over the last nine days heads into the final act with Bremen hosting Nurnberg on Saturday at Weser Stadium. Who can forget Aaron Hunt's dream goal in the final seconds of the first game this season against Nurnberg. But Werder would like to bag all three points this time around. And just like always, here are some of the most important facts about the showdown, compiled by WERDER.DE and OptaSportdate. Have fun!
• Nurnberg have played 26 Bundesliga matches in Bremen but only been able to bag the full three points three times. Werder have won 18 times with five matches ending in a draw.
• Frankfurt's last victory along the Weser dates back 11 years when Pavel Kuba scored twice and Sasa Ciric scored the winner in a 3-2 win on 21 August 1998. The only current Bremen player on that team is captain Torsten Frings.
• Werder have scored at least one goal in their last nine Bundesliga games but have allowed at least one goal in their last eight Bundesliga home matches.
• Claudio Pizarro's 129 Bundesliga goals has led him into the top 20 of all-time scorers in the league. And the Peruvian only needs four goals to match the best foreign goal scorer of all-time, Giovane Elber. Pizarro has scored 24 goals total this season, more than any other Bundesliga player.
• Torsten Frings has scored four goals in his last six matches. But more odd is that Frings was subbed in three minutes before scoring against Bochum last weekend. And it was his first goal as a substitute in nearly 11 years.
