SV Werder Bremen is playing against 1. FC Heidenheim on the 26th match day of the 2nd Bundesliga and wants to defend its lead in the top game on Saturday (8.30 p.m., DeichStube live ticker).
The preliminary report of the DeichStube*.
Bremen –
SV Werder Bremen
is actually one of the most popular clubs in Germany – and then this: “I don’t think anyone will clap their hands when Werder Bremen comes by,” says coach Ole Werner before the guest appearance on Saturday at
1. FC Heidenheim
(8.30
p.m./ DeichStube live ticker
).
Ironically, it even has to be called Heidenheim, because Werder actually caused a lot of frustration there almost two years ago with the relegation they just survived.
But Werner is not about the green and white past, but about the sporting present.
Werder gained a lot of respect with the almost uncanny run with 28 out of 30 possible points.
And it should stay that way!
Werder Bremen opponents 1. FC Heidenheim lost a bit of the connection in the promotion race
"We can go to Heidenheim with confidence - in the knowledge that we are very difficult to beat when we are at 100 percent," says
Ole Werner and demands the same 100 percent that
SV
had in their hard-fought 2-1 home win
Werder Bremen
were not quite reached against Dynamo Dresden.
"We allowed ourselves a few negligences that the opponents might not have punished as coldly as Heidenheim could have done.
Without wanting to offend Dresden: Heidenheim has another quality there,” emphasizes the Werder coach.
A look at the table confirms this assessment.
While Dresden is fighting against relegation,
1. FC Heidenheim
is still in the promotion race.
The emphasis is on "still".
Because after four games without a win (two draws, two defeats), the team of coach Frank Schmidt has lost touch a little, is already nine points behind
Werder Bremen
, eight behind the relegation place.
The game against Werder is something of a small final.
But Werner doesn't think that could play a role on the pitch.
Heidenheim wants to win the home game one way or another and is particularly uncomfortable in their own stadium.

"It could be exciting," Werner exults and warns his professionals: "Heidenheim is a team that goes through 90 minutes plus stoppage time and plays very physically.
We have to be at eye level and defensive, especially in one-on-one situations. ”That also applies to the standards, “
Heidenheim
is very dangerous there”.
And the coach didn't write off the opponent in the promotion race: "We're the best example of what can happen in nine games." Werder stormed from the second half of the table to the top.

Only recently Darmstadt 98 was there, the next but one opponent of Bremen, but also the last of Heidenheim.
After a 2:0 lead, the Schmidt team lost unluckily in the final phase with 2:3.
That should also
serve as a warning to
Werder Bremen .

And then there is also this special kick-off time: Saturday evening, 8:30 p.m. – intended for the top games in the 2nd division.
Werder Bremen
has had less good experiences with this appointment.
In five games there was only one win (Düsseldorf), but two defeats (Hamburg and Kiel) and two draws (Hanover, Schalke).
All games in which the coach was still called Markus Beginning.
So it's a first for
Ole Werner
.
Like almost all footballers, he likes to play under floodlights.
He does not expect a frosty reception or FCH professionals lusting for revenge because of the past: "The relegation games will not play a role." And if they do, then Werner is not alone with his team.
1,400 Werder fans will ensure a full block of guests and a great atmosphere - in a Voith Arena, which can be used up to 75 percent in times of Corona.
According to Heidenheim
, the 11,250 seats should all be occupied
.
That is not something that can be taken for granted, but
Werder Bremen
is still pulling, even if not everyone may applaud the visit... (kni) *
