Let's keep the streak going! After four games without a loss, Werder take on the next competitor from the lower half of the table this Saturday. The kick-off against VfB Stuttgart at Weser Stadium is 3:30 p.m. Stuttgart come into the match with a new coach in Huub Stevens. Here are the most important stats about the game against Stuttgart.

Did you know ...

... that Huub Stevens has lost more often against Werder than any other team? The new Stuttgart coach has already lost 13 times against SV Werder. The most his teams have lost against any other opponent is nine times, meaning the Dutch coach faces one of his "feared" opponents in Werder.

... that Stuttgart have not won in their last nine matches? Stuttgart's last Bundesliga victory came in early December last year with a 4-2 win at home against Hannover 96. The team had lost eight straight matches before last weekend finally picking up a point with a 2-2 draw against Eintracht Braunschweig.

... that Werder are in strong form at the moment? Werder have not lost in the last four matches (two wins, two draws) with Bayern Munich the only team with a longer undefeated streak (49 matches). Werder keeper Raphael Wolf has also kept his sheet clean the last three matches. The last time the Green-Whites went so long without conceding a goal came four and a half years ago in September-October 2009 when they went five matches without giving up a score.

... that Eljero Elia and Clemens Fritz are approaching an anniversary match? Eljero Elia has until now played 99 Bundesliga matches while Clemens Fritz's appearance against Nuremberg was his 249th in the Bundesliga.

... what Robin Dutt thinks of VfB Stuttgart? "With the switch in coaches, they will have new motivation, a new spark and new hope. Regarding our planning, the switch really doesn't affect us at all. But it does in that all of our previous tactical analysis means nothing now. Still, we have to look at our own game and play with confidence after four matches without a loss."
