When Werder Bremen face off with the reigning German champions Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, the Green-Whites will definitely be missing one major player in their ranks, that being Claudio Pizarro. The Peruvian, who has scored or assisted on 58 percent of Bremen's goals this season, will be unavailable due to a two-game suspension. But statistics of past showdowns with Dortmund can give Werder hope. Dortmund have suffered more losses against Bremen than against any other team in the Bundesliga.
WERDER.DE has put together everything you need to know about the game at Signal Iduna Park.
Did you know ...
... that Dortmund have lost more times against Bremen (39) than versus any other team in the Bundesliga? But, Werder have won just one of the last seven match-ups (2 draws, 4 losses).
... that Dortmund have won 25 of the 43 Bundesliga home matches against Werder and only lost nine times (the last coming in April 2007 - 2-0)?
... that the German champions have not lost in 19 Bundesliga matches (15 wins, 4 draws)? That is currently the longest streak in the Bundeliga and equals Dortmund's club record from the 1991-92 season.
... that Werder will be missing an important figure in Claudio Pizarro with a two-game suspension? The Peruvian has scored or assisted on 58 percent of Werder's goals (16 goals, 7 assists) this season. Only Cologne's Lukas Podolski has a higher percentage at 63 percent.
... that Thomas Schaaf has lost 11 of his 25 Bundesliga matches as head coach against Dortmund (10 victories, 4 draws)? He has not been defeated as often by any other Bundesliga club.
