The second Borussia team awaits! Mönchengladbach will arrive on Saturday as the next difficult opponent at Bremen's Weser Stadium. The match kicks off at 3:30 p.m. The following statistics overview shows why Weser Stadium has been a fortress against Gladbach in recent years and what anniversary Werder manager of sport Thomas Eichin will be celebrating on game day.

Did you know ...

... that Werder have not lost at home against Gladbach in the last 27 years? Weser Stadium was always like a fortress in recent years to Gladbach. The Green-Whites have collected 17 victories and six draws in the 23 Bundesliga home matches against Gladbach.

... that Gladbach have not collected a point in the second half of the season? In addition to Stuttgart and Hamburg, Gladbach is the only other team not to have picked up a point in the second half of the season. Gladbach have lost three matches in a row for the first time under Lucien Favre. All told, Gladbach have not won in five matches.

... that Thomas Eichin will mark his one year anniversary in office on match day? Eichin took over his post exactly one year ago to the day on Saturday. He has spent 33 Bundesliga matches as Werder Bremen's manager of sport. Eichin played for Werder's opponents Borussia Mönchengladbach from 1985 to 1999. He did not score a single goal in his 180 Bundesliga matches, just like his Gladbach counterpart Max Eberl (104 Bundesliga matches with zero goals).

... what Robin Dutt thinks Borussia Mönchengladbach? "Gladbach is a very good team. They are far from having a crisis because among the opponents were Leverkusen and Munich. We go optimistically into the match and know we have to call up a top performance to beat Gladbach."
