On Sunday 7 December 2014, Werder will take on Eintracht Frankfurt on the road with kick-off at 5:30 p.m. Two in-form teams will face off against each other - with many individuals having close former contact. The following statistical overview shows in which statistics the Green-Whites are tops in the league and what Viktor Skripnik thinks of the up-coming opponent and their coach
Did you know ...
... that Werder are currently in very good form? In the last four league games, Werder have collected three victories in addition to the win in the German DFB Cup. Frankfurt have won their last two matches (3-1 in Gladbach and 2-0 against Dortmund) after four straight defeats and come in with a mini winning streak.
... that Werder are especially dangerous right after the re-start? Half of the goals Werder have scored this season (9 goals) have been scored in the first quarter-hour after the break. That is by far tops in the league.

... that the match will be a special reunion with Thomas Schaaf and two other former Werder players? Schaaf was active with SVW for a total of 41 years and moved to the Eintracht Frankfurt at the beginning of the season. On Sunday, he will face the Green-Whites for the first time as an opponent. Aleksandar Ignjovski also switched from the Weser to the Main River and will take on his former team. Frankfurt keeper Felix Wiedwald also has a Green-Whites past as the 24-year-old was in the Werder youth ranks from 1999 to 2011. Former Werder player Nelson Valdez meanwhile will miss the match injured.
... what Werder coach Viktor Skripnik expects from Eintracht Frankfurt? "Frankfurt have won two matches in a row, the last one even at home against Dortmund. Now they are playing in their own stadium and will certainly play offensively minded. I cannot imagine that they will change anything with the line-up. We have to go to our limit from the first minute on."
