…a solid defence will be facing a strong attack?
Eintracht Frankfurt have put on a strong defensive performance in their last few matches. Their 1-0 win against FC Köln two weeks ago was their fourth match in a row without conceding an opposition goal. Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky only had four shots to deal with in these four matches. However, Werder’s consistency upfront will give them confidence that they can break down Eintracht’s strong defensive wall on Sunday. Werder have scored at least once in every home fixture for over a year. Werder have scored in all of their Bundesliga matches this season except for on the opening day against FC Bayern München. Only RB Leipzig and FC Bayern München have scored in every game.
…both teams have had nine different goalscorers already this season?
Only FC Bayern München can top this record. The record champions have ten different goalscorers so far this season. Only Serge Gnabry has scored more than once this season (four times) and eight other Werder players have scored a goal this season. Marco Fabian and Alex Meier have both scored twice this season for Eintracht Frankfurt whilst seven other players have scored just one goal this season.
… Werder have picked up 19 of their last 21 points at the Weser-Stadion?
Even though Werder lost to SC Freiburg in their last home game, the Green-Whites are still best on home turf. The home wins against Wolfsburg and Leverkusen provided an important lift to the team’s morale and Werder have managed to win their last two home games against Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0. Hopefully it will be three-times lucky for Bremen!
