When SV Werder Bremen play at Schalke 04 on Saturday 10 November 2012 at 3:30 p.m., the Green-Whites will be trying to end a losing streak. Head coach Thomas Schaaf's team haven't had much success lately in Gelsenkirchen, losing their last match-up at the Veltins Arena 5-0. 


WERDER.DE put together everything you need to know about the 87th showdown between Schalke 04 and SVW.

Did you know ...

... that the Green-Whites have won only one of their last eight matches against Schalke 04? SVW beat Schalke in Gelsenkirchen 2-0 in May 2010. The Royal Blues have had their own at Veltins Arena, as Bremen's only win in the last 10 road matches with Schalke was the May 2010 victory to go along with six Schalke wins and three draws.

... that Bremen's captain Aaron Hunt was the oldest Werder player in the starting line-up against Mainz? The 26-year-old scored both goals and was the match winner in the 2-1 victory. The midfielder leads Bremen's scoring list with five goals and two assists.

... that Bremen's leftback Lukas Schmitz played for Schalke from 2009 to 2011? The 24-year-old, who transferred to Werder in the summer of 2011, appeared in 52 Bundesliga matches for Schalke and scored two goals.

... that Schalke have the best percentage of won challenges in the league? The Royal Blues have won 54.9 percent of all their challenges on the pitch. Schalke's centre back Kyriakos Papadopoulos has won 76.9 percent of his challenges, making him the best defender in the league. Papadopoulos and Werder defender Sokratis make up the interior defence for the Greek national team. The Bremen centre back returned to training on Thursday after recovering from his calf injury (see news).
