When VfL welcome SV Werder Bremen to the Volkswagen Arena on Sunday 5 November (15:30 CET) – just five days after knocking DFB Cup holders Leipzig out of the competition – they won’t just be facing the Bundesliga’s only other northern club. The two teams also have the most evenly balanced head-to-head record in the top flight, having won 20 games each, shared the spoils on ten occasions and scored 89 goals apiece. Intriguingly, though, both VfL and Werder have yet to draw a game this season.
