Keep it going! After an important 2-0 away win in the North Derby, the Green-Whites now want to increase their point total to 12. But SV Werder will need to give their all on Sunday 29 September 2013 against Nuremberg (kickoff at 3:30 p.m.).

WERDER.DE as always put together the most important facts about the match.

Did you know ...

... that Nuremberg have failed to collect quite a few points away from home of late? In the last 18 Bundesliga away matches, Nuremberg have won just twice to go along with nine defeats and seven draws.

... that Werder will likely score at least one goal against Nuremberg? Nuremberg have conceded at least one goal in their last 14 Bundesliga matches. Nuremberg's last clean sheet came in March 2013 in a 3-0 win over Schalke.

... that the Green-Whites will have to play especially well in the second half? Nuremberg has scored 16 of their last 18 Bundesliga goals in the second half. But, they have conceded seven of their nine goals this season after the break.

... that two players in the Green-Whites jersey could celebrate an anniversary on Sunday? Bremen's Nils Petersen could play his 50th Bundesliga match just like teammate Zlatko Junuzovic.

... what Robin Dutt thinks about the opponents from Nuremberg? "Nuremberg played very good and compact in their last match against Dortmund. With their 4-1-4-1 system, they mainly made things very tight in the central midfield. It's very uncomfortable to play against them. Nuremberg also have a certain pressure and will want to pick up points. I expect a match in which there is less space than against Hamburg. We will have to be more patient. It could be a tough game."
