The 100th North Derby is right around the corner! No other match-up has taken place in the Bundesliga more often than the showdown between SV Werder Bremen and Hamburg. Fiery atmosphere, fight for every inch and countless emotions - this historic match promises all that on Saturday as well as some additional explosiveness due to the situation on the table. Kick-off will come at 3:30 p.m. at Weser Stadium. Appropriate for the 100th anniversary of the North Derby, WERDER.DE put together the best statistics about the 99 Bundesliga matches against Hamburg.

Did you know...

... who has the better record after the first 99 North Derbys in the Bundesliga? It's our SV Werder Bremen! The Green-Whites have four more victories than Hamburg. All told, SV Werder won 35 matches, played to 33 draws and lost 31 contests. The goal difference is exactly even - 148 goals scored and 148 goals conceded. That means nearly three goals are scored per North Derby.

... how the first match-up in the Bundesliga between the two northern rivals ended? SV Werder and Hamburg SV faced off for the first time in the Bundesliga on 12 October 1963. Werder won the first match 4-2 with Arnold ‘Pico' Schütz scoring three goals as the Green-Whites' first hat-trick in the Bundesliga.

... when Werder's biggest win in the North Derby was? Werder beat Hamburg 6-0 on 1 May 2004 with Ismael, Klasnic, Skripnik, Valdez and Ailton scoring for the Green-Whites (with an own goal by Sergej Barbarez). Yeah, that was the year! A few weeks later Werder not only won the German league title but also German DFB Cup.

... what Robin Dutt thinks of Hamburg? "They will certainly have more confidence after the victory against Dortmund than they did 14 days ago. But that doesn't mean much for us. We will rely on our own strengths and go into the match with a controlled aggressiveness. If you combine that with attractiveness, I wouldn't have anything against that."
