On Saturday 19 March 2011 at 3:30 p.m. Werder Bremen play at Nuremberg. And WERDER.DE once again collaborated with OptaSportdaten to put together the most important facts about the north-south showdown. Have fun!

- SV Werder Bremen have lost only two of their last 10 Bundesliga away matches in Nuremberg. Schaaf's team left the pitch as victors five times with three draws.

- Exactly five years and a day from game day (18 March 2006) Bremen last lost at Nuremberg, going down 3-1 during the 2005-06 season. Werder have not lost in their last three matches in Nuremberg.

- Bremen also lead in the all-time record. In 55 match-ups since 1963, Werder won 27 games with 14 draws. The record from the last seven matches also favours the northern Germans as Werder have dropped just one match against Nuremberg - the first match-up this season at Weser Stadium.

- In the first game between the teams this season, Stuttgart loaned player Julian Schieber set up all three Nuremberg goals. But this time the club's leading scorer is out with a meniscus injury. For Bremen, Philipp Bargfrede is suspended after his fifth booking from the Gladbach match. But Aaron Hunt may be able to return from his strain injury for Bremen.

- Warning to Werder about the scoring potential of Nuremberg's defence! In their last game - a 2-1 victory in Wolfsburg - two centre backs scored for Nuremberg. That brings the Nuremberg defence's goal total to nine scores - the best in the league. But Werder also have defenders who can score. Per Mertesacker has already tallied three times this season and Sebastian Prödl headed home a score against Leverkusen.
