SV Werder Bremen take on another strong team on the 29th match day of the Bundesliga, facing third placed Schalke 04 at Weser Stadium on Saturday. But the Green-Whites will have a lot of confidence going into their home match starting at 3:30 p.m. after winning at Hannover 96 last week.

... that a total of 234 goals have been scored in matches between these teams? That means an average of 2.63 goals scored per game with Werder having slightly more success, tallying 128 of the 234 goals.

... that Werder lead the league in challenges? The Green-Whites do not shy away from challenges as Junuzovic, Bargfrede and Co. have had 4,876 challenges this season - the most in the league!

... what Robin Dutt thinks of FC Schalke 04? "Up front, Schalke have excellent quality and effectiveness. With Draxler, Meyer, Huntelaar and Obasi, they have four players who on their own can cause problems. And behind them they have six defensive players who cover things well. It will be a difficult match."
