SV Werder Bremen Haberleri

SV Werder Bremen came away from Mainz with a point after netting two late equalizers in a 2-2 draw. The hosts got off to a strong start, while Werder sat back and waited for opportunities to counter-attack. The Green-Whites lacked precision in their passes for much of the first half, as neither side was able to create much. That changed from the 85th minute onwards, as Mainz first took the lead through Ajorque. Just 80 seconds later, Werder drew level through Stage (87’). The hosts would then retake the lead through Weiper in the third minute of injury time, before Füllkrug bagged his 16th goal of the season to rescue a point for SVW (90’+5).

The 33,305 fans inside the MEWA ARENA were treated to a thrilling finale as Werder snatched a point with the last kick of the game. Werder scored twice for the second away match running and showed bags of character as they look to secure their Bundesliga status. Here is all the reaction from the game:

When SV Werder travel to 1. FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday (08/4, 15:30 CEST), the Green-Whites will have a score to settle. On the one hand, they want to make up for the 2-0 defeat in the reverse fixture and get important points to cement their place in the league. On the other hand, the lessons learned from the last game against Hoffenheim will be applied. “There is a period coming that we should look forward to,” said head coach Ole Werner, who was optimistic at the press conference on Thursday as he looked ahead to the upcoming match against the Zerofivers. “We can now reap the rewards for the work we have put in so far this season.”

SV Werder will be without Amos Pieper for the away game in Mainz (Saturday, 08/04/23, 15.30 CEST). Last weekend’s goalscorer is suffering from ankle problems and won’t be in the squad at the weekend. “He has had problems there for a long time, there isn’t a specific solution,” said Ole Werner at his press conference ahead of the game.

Head coach Ole Werner answered questions in his press conference ahead of SV Werder Bremen’s game against 1. FSV Mainz 05. Werder’s head coach wants to move on from the two goals conceded just after the break against TSG Hoffenheim. He looked at the week of training and Mainz’s strengths.

Werder lost 2-1 at home to Hoffenheim on Sunday evening. Werder overcame a slow start and began to grow into the game, combining well down the right flank. The final 15 minutes of the first half was a real purple patch for SVW, Ducksch had several chances to give us the lead, but was denied by Baumann. Hoffenheim then scored twice in quick succession after the break with goals from Kramarić (50′) and Baumgartner (52′). Werder only found the net towards the end through substitute Pieper (76’), and there were cheers at the wohninvest WESERSTADION as the referee awarded a penalty in the last minute to Werder, but those cheers were silenced following a VAR check which found an offside in the build-up. 

It was a frustrating 2-1 defeat against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim for the Green-Whites today. Here is a summary of the match reaction.

After a break of just over two weeks, SV Werder will play host to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim at the wohninvest WESERSTADION on Sunday (02/04/23, 17.30 CEST). In his press conference ahead of the game, Ole Werner looked back on two good weeks of training which ended with a successful final training session with the whole squad.​​​​​​

Back to business. The Bundesliga returns following the international break, and SV Werder Bremen are playing in the final game of the weekend as they face TSG Hoffenheim (2nd April, 17:30 CEST) at the wohninvest WESERSTADION. “We want to put ourselves in the best possible position ahead of the run-in,” said head coach Ole Werner at the pre-match press conference.

There were a number of disappointed faces at the training ground on Thursday morning as Werder Bremen striker Niclas Füllkrug trained individually, rather than with the team. Many fans were hoping for an autograph or a photo with the forward, who has become more and more popular among fans after scoring six goals in six games for the Germany national team.
