SV Werder Bremen

SV Werder Bremen are set to take on Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund at the wohninvest WESERSTADION on Saturday, 9th March (18:30 CET). The Green-Whites are not expecting the matchday 25 clash to be a walk in the park, and are aware of the challenge ahead of them as they prepare to face the Champions League contenders. Head coach Ole Werner and head of professional football Clemens Fritz spoke openly in the pre-match press conference about their attitudes towards the upcoming clash under the floodlights.

Rafael Borré is to leave SV Werder Bremen with immediate effect to join Sport Club Internacional after the Brazilian club agreed terms with Eintracht Frankfurt for his transfer. The 28-year-old had been loaned to Werder from the Hessian side in the summer.

SV Werder Bremen were unable to build on their three-game unbeaten streak on the road after suffering a 2-1 defeat to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim at the PreZero Arena on Sunday evening. The hosts took an early lead and were in control of the first half thanks to a brace by Maximilian Beier (8’, 44’), which made it challenging for the Green-Whites to come back after the break. After a strong display in the closing stages, Skelly Alvero was able to hit home his first goal for the Green-Whites, but it wasn’t enough to bring home any points from Sinsheim.

After a tough evening clash in Sinsheim, SV Werder Bremen fell to a 2-1 defeat against a strong Hoffenheim side, breaking their three-game unbeaten streak away from home. The Green-Whites pushed for an equaliser right until the final whistle, but were ultimately let down by their inability to make the most of their chances in the first half. WERDER.DE were in the mixed zone after the game to gather the reaction to the defeat.

After announcing that he will call time on his playing career at the end of the 2023/24 season, Christian Groß will have a maximum of eleven more chances to step out on the pitch in green and white. In an interview, “Grosso” discussed his decision to retire, the friendships he made at the club, and his plans for a future away from the game.

Christian Groß will call time on his playing career in the summer of this year. “This was an extremely difficult decision to make. I’ve played football for my whole life – that’s what I’m known for. It’s definitely not a decision you can make overnight, but something that you think about for a long time. I came to the conclusion with my wife and family over the Christmas break that it was time for me to hang up my boots.”

SV Werder Bremen have the chance to make history during this weekend’s trip to face TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on Sunday (3rd March, 17:30 CET). After returning home victorious from Munich, Mainz and Cologne, the Green-Whites now go in search of their fourth straight away win, which would make a new club record in the Bundesliga. Hoffenheim will be feeling confident coming into Sunday’s clash after a 3-2 win at Borussia Dortmund last weekend, as they seek to add to their tally of just two wins on home soil so far this season.

Rafael Borré has been left out of SV Werder Bremen’s squad ahead of their trip to face TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on Sunday, 3rd March. The Colombian striker is on the verge of completing a move to Brazilian side Internacional. 

SV Werder head coach Ole Werner and head of professional football Clemens Fritz spoke to the media ahead of the Green-Whites’ game against TSG Hoffenheim on Sunday (3rd March, 17:30 CET). In spite of the difficulty of the task that lies ahead of their side, both men were positive and looking forward to the clash.

On Thursday afternoon, the German Football League (DFL) confirmed the schedule for the upcoming Bundesliga matchdays 27 to 30. SV Werder Bremen will host VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday, 30th March (15:30 CET), before travelling to Eintracht Frankfurt for a Friday night under the floodlights on the 5th April (20:30 CEST). The Green-Whites will face off against the league leaders Bayer 04 Leverkusen at the BayArena on Sunday, 14th April (17:30 CEST), and will then take on VfB Stuttgart at home on Sunday, 21st April (15:30 CEST).
