HISTORY
- SGE have celebrated 31 wins against Bremen – a record number for Eintracht in the Bundesliga.
- Eintracht are unbeaten in their last seven Bundesliga meetings with Werder (W4, D3).
- It’s the longest run the Eagles have ever had against Bremen in the Bundesliga without losing.
SEASON
- With five wins, six draws and 10 defeats each (21 points), only goal difference separates Frankfurt (12th) and Bremen (13th) in the table: Eintracht (-14) have the fifth worst in the league, while Bremen’s (-21) is the second worst.
- Bremen have won just one of their last 10 games, collecting just six points in that timeframe (D3, L6).
- A table representing just the last 10 matchdays would see them sitting 17th above only HSV.
- Frankfurt have won their last two home games without conceding, something they last did at the end of 2008. Eintracht last won three consecutive Bundesliga home games without conceding a single goal back in 2000.
- Bremen have the worst pass accuracy (71.6%) and average possession (42.5%) in the league.
- They have only found a teammate with 61.2% of their passes in the opponents’ half (also a league low).
- Bottom-of-the-table Braunschweig are the only side other than Werder that have also been waiting six Bundesliga away games for a win. Bremen’s last victory on the road was a 2-0 win at HSV on matchday 6.
- This is Frankfurt’s sixth Sunday game of the season already (league high) – they have collected eight of a possible 27 points so far (W2, D2, L5).
- Veh’s side have claimed just two points from losing positions in this campaign, a league low.
- They came back to claim 13 points last season – second place behind Wolfsburg.
INDIVIDUALS
- During spells with Rostock, Stuttgart, Wolfsburg, Hamburg and Frankfurt, Armin Veh has faced Werder 14 times in the top flight, winning eight of those games (D3, L3).
- There have been a remarkable 60 goals in those games, an average of 4.3 goals per match.
- Frankfurt’s Alex Meier could make his 200th Bundesliga appearance.
- Only five Eintracht players have scored more top-flight goals for the Eagles than Meier (53 in 193 games).
- Werder’s Cedric Makiadi celebrates his 30th birthday on the day of the match.
