SV Werder Bremen visit VfL Bochum at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion on Saturday (3:30 p.m.).
After the unfortunate 3:4 defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt, the green-whites want to win their second win of the season at the bottom of the table in the Bundesliga.
The preliminary report of the DeichStube.
Bremen –
VfL Bochum
are at the bottom of the Bundesliga table after four matchdays without a single point – but for
Ole Werner
, coach of
SV Werder Bremen
, that's no reason to underestimate his team's upcoming opponents.
"The table doesn't matter at such an early stage of the season because its informative value is very limited," said the 34-year-old, who therefore also said nothing about Bremen's possible role as favorites in the Bundesliga duel against Bochum on Saturday (3:30 p.m. in the afternoon).

"It doesn't matter to me whether the bookmakers consider you an outsider or a favourite," emphasized
Ole Werner
before the game at
VfL Bochum
.
Rather, it is about “that we deal with the things that we can influence.
And that's the ones on the pitch.”
SV Werder Bremen
is basically satisfied with the five points collected from the first four games, but the most recent 3:4 home defeat against Frankfurt revealed major problems in the defense.
During the week, the head coach of
SV Werder Bremen
and his team worked primarily on the recent lack of defensive behavior - practically on the pitch, but also in theory.
During the video analysis and in individual discussions,
Ole Werner
worked through the mistakes from the Frankfurt game with his players.
The mission was clear: "Of course, we strive to ensure that the games don't always go so wild, in our favour."
