The anticipation for the start of the second half of the season is increasing hour by hour and minute by minute. SV Werder welcome Hertha Berlin on Sunday 1 February 2015 at 3:30 p.m. "I feel the nerves a bit more," said Werder coach Viktor Skripnik looking ahead to the match at Weser Stadium.

The confidence is also clear after a successful preparation with four wins in five warm-ups including wins over Bundesliga sides Gladbach and Hannover. "The players really did a good job in the last month. We spent a lot of time together, worked very intensively and came even closer to one another," said Skripnik.

In addition, the Bremen coach recognised the development in the team's game. "We scored a lot of goals and not only on set pieces but also in the run of play. Besides, we also changed our playing style, relying more on ball possession," said the coach.

The following 18 players were nominated by the Bremen coach for the Hertha match:
Raphael Wolf, Koen Casteels - Santiago Garcia, Alejandro Gálvez, Assani Lukimya, Jannik Vestergaard, Clemens Fritz, Franco Di Santo, Levin Öztunali, Izet Hajrovic, Zlatko Junuzovic, Felix Kroos, Levent Aycicek, Fin Bartels, Theodor Gebre Selassie, Davie Selke, Janek Sternberg, Philipp Bargfrede
