Home matches against Cologne were often a good thing for SV Werder in the past. The last time Cologne picked up a full three points in Bremen dates back nine years. The fact that the match on Friday night 24 October 2014 at 8:30 p.m. takes place during the Bremen Freimarkt festival is another additional good omen for the Green-Whites.

Werder definitely want to collect points from the showdown under the floodlights, which opens the ninth match day of the Bundesliga. And that has almost always happened in the past Bundesliga match-ups between these clubs. In the last 10 games along the Weser, Cologne have only collected one point. Nine victories and one draw is a good record for the Green-Whites against Cologne, whose last win in Bremen came on 1 December 1995, a 1-0 victory. All told, Cologne have only won eight of 47 matches in Bremen.

Another point is that Cologne must play during the Freimarkt festival. Werder always seem to really pick up a lot of points when the folks festival puts up its tents for two weeks in the city. Since 2004, Bremen have won 10 matches at home during Bremen's so-called "fifth season". The Green-Whites split the spoils three times during the period and lost just once. A victory Friday night would not just fit in with the positive record but it would also be extremely important for the club's current situation.
