No losing allowed! This is a showdown of two direct challengers to avoid relegation and the loser will definitely be very nervous. The record ahead of the match between Werder Bremen and St. Pauli on Saturday 3:30 p.m. is clearly in favour of the Green-Whites. WERDER.DE editors once again collaborated with OptaSportdaten for the most important facts ahead of the small North Derby. Have fun talking about them!
