The showdown between Werder and Wolfsburg on Saturday means the final chance for the Europa League for both clubs. Bremen are three points from seventh place while the Wolves are four points back. Only the team who wins the game has a chance to play internationally next season.
Here the facts about the game
Did you know ...
... that Wolfsburg (four points from seventh place) and Bremen (three points) can only be helped in their fight for the Europa League with a victory? Wolfsburg will pass Bremen with a victory but the Europa League will be no longer possible with a defeat.
... that the Wolves have scored 43 goals in 29 Bundesliga matches against Werder? Wolfsburg have only scored more goals against Hamburg (50). But Wolfsburg have only conceded more goals against Bayern (63) and Dortmund (58) than against Bremen (57).
... that Werder have not won in seven Bundesliga matches (three draws, four defeats) and have conceded at least one goal in each of them? Bremen's last streak this long came in 1995-96 (12 Bundesliga matches).
... that Claudio Pizarro has not scored a goal in 509 minutes? His longest Bundesliga scoring drought for the Green-Whites came in his debut season 1999-2000 when he went 676 minutes without a goal. He ended his streak back then against Wolfsburg.
