Werder Bremen against Mainz: This match-up has occurred 11 times in the Bundesliga and three times in the German DFB Cup. And the record would indicate a Green-Whites victory on Saturday. Mainz has only won two matches against Werder. Bremen won the first match-up this season 3-1. But Werder must watch out in the early stages of the game. Here are the facts about the game.

Did you know ...

... that Bremen have only lost one of the last 10 Bundesliga matches against Mainz (7 victories, 2 draws)? But Werder's last defeat against Mainz came in the last home match - a 2-0 loss.

... that Mainz has only conceded more goals to Bayern Munich (31) than to Werder (24)? And Mainz have not lost more often against any other team (seven, just like against Schalke and Bayern).

... that Mainz have given up the most points after leading (25) and even lost five matches after going ahead? So it shouldn't be a surprise that Bremen won the first match-up in Mainz 3-1 after falling behind 1-0 away from home.

... that Werder's 3-0 win over Hannover on the 25th game day was Bremen's only victory at Weser Stadium in 2012 (3 draws, 1 loss)? The Green-Whites won seven of their eight home matches in the first half of the season.

... that Mainz have only won once away - that being the first away match of the season (2-1 in Freiburg)? Mainz have not won in 12 away matches since then (7 draws, 5 defeats) - a Mainz record in the Bundesliga.

... that Mainz scored 56% of their goals in the first half of matches? That is the highest percentage in the Bundesliga. Bremen meanwhile have only scored 34% of their goals in the first 45 minutes. Only Augsburg has scored less often before the break (25% of their goals).

... that only Werder, Freiburg and Stuttgart have conceded nine goals after corner kicks?

... that Claudio Pizarro has been part of 23 of Bremen's 41 Bundesliga goals this season (56%)? Only Cologne is more dependent on one player with Lukas Podolski (59%).
