A return to the old stomping grounds, fighting for placing on the table and a night game - When Werder take on SC Freiburg Friday evening at 8:30 p.m., there will be plenty of potential for excitement.

Did you know ...

... that Werder have not lost at Freiburg in 13 years? In the last six matches in Freiburg, Werder have collected five victories and one draw. The last Green-Whites away loss against Freiburg dates back to 28 July 2001. 

... that Werder are undefeated in the last five matches? Bremen have collected two wins and three draws in their last five Bundesliga contests. The last undefeated streak this long goes back more than two years (Jan-Feb 2012). "We worked hard to get this streak and will do everything we can that it doesn't get snapped against Freiburg. We still need points to really fully pull away from the lower ranks," said Nils Petersen.

... that SC Freiburg have seen the most shots against their goal this season? Goalkeeper Oliver Baumann has had to make a league-high 118 saves. That is quite a lot more than Freiburg's shots on the opponents' goal (79 - lowest in the league).

... that Philipp Bargfrede is in line to play his 100th Bundesliga match? Bargfrede extended his contract with Werder on Thursday for an additional three years. The defensive midfielder can crown the contract extension off with his 100th Bundesliga match for the Green-Whites.

... what Robin Dutt thinks of SC Freiburg? "SC Freiburg definitely peaked people's interest with their 4-1 win in Frankfurt. They run a lot and are a dangerous team because they deal realistically with relegation fight. Despite the tense situation, they remain calm and actually take strength from that. If you don't go all-out against Freiburg, you don't stand a chance. So, I expect a match with high intensity on both sides."
