- Werder have 23 points since the winter break and are in a single-digit position for the first time this season. Only Bayern have more in the Rückrunde (27).The northern club are just two points off a guaranteed Europa League position. They last featured in Europe in 2010/11.Ingolstadt began their push for survival with nine points from the three games during the Englische Woche. They suffered a setback last time out with defeat at Wolfsburg coupled with wins for Augsburg and Mainz. FCI are now four points away from safety (15th place and the relegation play-off in 16th).Bremen are currently in better form than teams like Hertha, Freiburg and Cologne, who currently lie ahead of the Green-Whites in the table, and in fact face Hertha and Cologne on Matchdays 31 and 32, respectively.Werder are unbeaten in nine Bundesliga games, winning seven of them. They last had a longer unbeaten run over seven years ago (14 in a row).Not many before this season would have expected the names of Alexander Nouri and Maik Walpurgis to be going head-to-head as Bundesliga coaches. They were closer linked with jobs in the third tier.
