“It’s about time we picked up some points!” It is not just Zlatko Junuzovic that knows this, after he uttered those words at the press conference on Thursday. The rest of the team are also well aware of this after three defeats in 2017. However when it comes to the team’s next opponent, Borussia Mönchengladbach, who visit the Weser-Stadion on Saturday, 11th February, their form has by contrast improved hugely. “Gladbach are a team that obviously have the wind in their backs,” warned Werder coach Alexander Nouri ahead of the game against the Fohlenelf, who have really lifted themselves away from the relegation battle with victories over Leverkusen and Freiburg. Werder and Gladbach were actually on the same number of points come the winter break. However three games later, Borussia now have a seven point advantage over the Green-Whites. Once again, it is high time that Werder picked up some points.
