Stadium: Weserstadion (Bremen)
15.01.2025 22:30
Before Thursday's round 17 match at Weserstadion, Werder Bremen and Heidenheim were separated by twelve points and 6 spots in the Bundesliga standings. The last time Werder Bremen lost in the league was in early February. As Ole Werner's team lost 3-0 to RB Leipzig. Heidenheim defeated Union Berlin 2-0. Nevertheless, Werder recorded three consecutive wins before losing to Leipzig.
Even though Heidenheim is new to the league, the team is winning the relegation battle. When the coach took over in September 2007, the former defender became the first manager to serve as manager of a single club in German history. He guided the Baden-Wurttemberg team to many promotions prior to their debut season in the top flight. Can Heidenheim do the double over Werder Bremen?

SV Werder Bremen comes into this match riding a wave of confidence. A string of victories, including a 4-1 dismantling of Union Berlin and a 2-0 away win at FC St. Pauli, has propelled them into the spotlight as one of the Bundesliga’s form teams. Their approach has been pragmatic but highly effective, combining defensive solidity with clinical counterattacks.
What’s most impressive is Bremen’s ability to grind out results on the road. Wins at Bochum and St. Pauli demonstrate their ability to stay compact defensively and strike when the opportunity arises. Bremen has also showcased versatility, scoring goals from set pieces and quick transitions.
Although history is against them in this fixture, Bremen’s recent performances suggest they are more than capable of springing a surprise. To do so, they’ll need to stay disciplined defensively and capitalize on Leipzig’s vulnerability after the Bayern thrashing.
History of Head-to-Heads
1 FC Heidenheim 1846
In their first-ever European campaign, Heidenheim has had a difficult time juggling the demands of the Bundesliga with their first-ever European campaign. After losing eight of their past nine league games, including a 3-1 loss to Stuttgart in their home match on Sunday, Heidenheim is currently languishing in the relegation playoff spot. This is because they have lost eight of their last nine league games.
As a result of the fact that they have allowed at least three goals in each of their previous five league matches, Heidenheim will be aiming to put on a more impressive defensive performance in their match away from home on Sunday. The away team has not been successful in recent matches against Bochum, as they have not been victorious in any of their seven most recent competitive encounters—two draws and five losses. As a consequence of this, Heidenheim is looking to capture their first victory against Bochum since they triumphed over them by a score of 3-2 in September of 2018.
