Last season’s fixtures: The two games last season against Hertha both ended very positively for the Green-Whites. After a series of unlucky results, Werder managed a well fought away victory in Berlin on 10 December 2016 where Max Kruse scored the game’s only goal. Max Kruse was also on the scoresheet alongside Fin Bartels in Werder’s home fixture against Hertha, and the game finished 2-0.
Pre-match quotes: Alexander Nouri is very aware of the fact that an away trip to Berlin poses a tough challenge for his team. “Hertha have strengthened their squad again for this season, and they’re also very good at home.” Nouri knows very well what his team needs to focus on. “It’s crucial that we concentrate on ourselves and our strengths. Maintaining the balance between defence and attack will also be really important. We’ll be travelling to Berlin confident and in good spirits.”
The stats battle: Werder will be facing a Hertha team this weekend that has not lost their last six games to be played on a Sunday. However, Werder are also the only team that didn’t concede to Hertha once last season. Which statistic will hold true come Sunday?
