The Bundesliga is finally back! Finally, Werder will be scoring goals and hopefully collecting victories! The Green-Whites start the 2013-14 season on Saturday 10 August 2013 in a north derby which hasn't taken place in 28 years. Werder will be playing the top billing of the first match day at 6:30 p.m. at promoted side Eintracht Braunschweig. Here is all the information you need to know about the start of the Bundesliga.

Did you know ... 

... that Braunschweig have lost their last seven competitive matches against Bremen with a 2-21 goal difference? The last Braunschweig win over Bremen in the Bundesliga dates back to October 1982, when they won 2-1 at home.

... that Werder can definitely improve their statistics in the top match on Saturday nights? In their last four appearances in the top match, Bremen have collected just one point with a 2-13 goal difference.

... that Werder's Özkan Yildirim will have extra motivation when he travels to Braunschweig? The 20-year-old was nominated for the German U21 national team for the first time Thursday afternoon by coach Horst Hrubesch. "I am so looking forward to represent SV Werder in the U21 national team. But first of all, there is the match in Braunschweig," said a thrilled ‘Ötzi'. Germany will play next Tuesday 13 August 2013 against France in Freiburg at 8:30 p.m. (live on Eurosport).

... that Werder's manager Thomas Eichin has officially been in office since 15 February? Since then, Werder have collected six draws and seven losses in the Bundesliga as well as the defeat in the German Cup in Saarbrücken. The 13-match winless streak in the Bundesliga is the club's longest such stretch in history.
