Game Preview
Two fellow promoted sides will go head-to-head when Werder Bremen host Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga on Saturday evening. Werder Bremen could move as high as fifth in the table with a victory depending on results elsewhere, while Schalke have lost six league games in a row.
After suffering two successive defeats, Bremen returned to winning ways with a 1-0 win against Hertha Berlin last Friday. Ole Werner’s side scored yet another late goal, with Niclas Fullkrug’s 85th-minute strike providing them with three crucial points as opposed to one as they moved nine points clear of the bottom three.
Fullkrug’s effort, which was the forward’s ninth goal in 12 league games this season, was Bremen’s 10th scored in the last 10 minutes of matches this season, directly accounting for 11 additional points to their overall tally.
Six successive defeats have led to Die Konigsblauen dropping to the foot of the Bundesliga, with their new manager Thomas Reis falling to a 2-0 defeat at home to Freiburg in his first game in charge last weekend. Vincenzo Grifo bagged a brace with strikes either side of half time, as Schalke managed just 44% possession and three shots on target across the course of the match at Veltins-Arena.
Reis will be demanding a much-improved performance on Friday, while hoping that more time on the training ground has helped his methods sink in, but he will be more than aware that they are up against it given the two teams’ contrasting form this season.
Werder Bremen are expected to have too much attacking prowess for Schalke, who have looked hopeless in recent weeks. They may be determined to put up more of a fight under Reis’ new management, but with Fullkrug in excellent goalscoring form for the hosts, they should cruise to another victory at home.
