In their first home game of the 2013/2014 season, this coming Saturday, the Green-Whites play host to FC Augsburg (17.08.2013 - kick-off 3:30pm). WERDER.DE have all the relevant pre-match facts and figures.
Did you know, ...
... that trainer Robin Dutt finally brought an end to Bremen's „negative record" of 13 consecutive Bundesliga games without a win? Prior to the 1-0 win in Braunschweig, Werder only managed to take a mere six points from 13 matches (six draws, seven defeats).
... that manager Thomas Eichin celebrated his first win with Werder in Braunschweig? Since taking on his new role on 15.02.2013, Werder had not managed to win any of their 14 competitive games. Werder finally broke their duck with the 1-0 success away to newly promoted Eintracht Braunschweig.

... that FC Augsburg is the only club in Germany's top flight that Werder have never managed to beat? Until now, the two teams have twice shared the spoils and the Green-Whites twice lost to the side from the Fuggerstadt region. Last season Augsburg won both game against Werder. The game in the Weser-Stadium finished 0-1 and then there was a 1-3 in Augsburg.
... that Werder's chances of getting a win against FCA this year don't look at all bad? Trainer Markus Weinzierl's team have lost their last four away games in the Bundesliga, the longest negative run in the club's history. The last three away games saw Augsburg fail to score. In addition, FCA started the season with a 0-4 defeat at home to Borussia Dortmund, their heaviest ever-top flight loss. In 2011, the side from the Swabian region lost 0-4 in an away game - with BVB again inflicting the damage!
... how Robin Dutt rates the opponents from Augsburg? „I have the greatest of respect for what FCA have achieved. They are mentally very strong, have extreme physical power and are well organised. They have a good blend within the team. Aside from that, Augsburg have strengthened their squad with new signings who have international talent, as well as a talented youngster in Holzhauser. It would of course be wonderful to have six points on our account by the end of the game on Saturday".
