SV Werder Bremen will play away against 1. FC Union Berlin on Saturday (3:30 p.m./DeichStube live ticker).
This is how coach Ole Werner approaches the Bundesliga game on matchday 26.
Bremen - Preparation for the upcoming away game at
1. FC Union Berlin
(Saturday, 3:30 p.m. /
DeichStube live ticker
) - has been a tricky task for Ole Werner in the past few days, for two reasons.
Number one: Five months later, the coach of SV Werder Bremen
can hardly gain any insight
from the 2-0 win in the first leg that could be useful now.
“We can't get that much out of it anymore,” says Werner, whose counterpart on the Union bench was known as Urs Fischer in October and will be called Nenad Bjelica on Saturday.
Although Köpenicker's new head coach hasn't thrown everything out of the window when it comes to the playing structure and orientation, he has still introduced his own style, which Werder and Werner are now confronted with for the first time.

And reason number two:
Union Berlin
has now left behind the sporting decline that accompanied the team for a long time and pushed it deep into the bottom of the table, but recently lost twice in a row against the top teams from Dortmund and Stuttgart.
What exactly
will the reaction be against
Werder Bremen ?
Remains to be seen.
“Their situation is similar to ours, because they didn't do great in terms of results in the last two games either,” says
Ole Werner
, whose Bremen team recently failed to score points against Hoffenheim and Dortmund twice in a row and now everything at the Alte Försterei want to ensure that after the game we don't have to talk about a series of defeats.
With currently 30 points in their account,
Werder Bremen,
currently tenth in the table, should at least cautiously look up again with a win at 14th Union Berlin, towards the places that could become really valuable at the end of the season.
But probably only then.
Otherwise, a placement in the middle of the table would be cemented for the time being.
On the other hand, the lead over the relegation place is still comfortable with twelve points at the moment.

Of course, it has n't gone unnoticed by
Ole Werner
that
Union Berlin
is now much more solid than it was in the disastrous first half of the season, when the team was at the bottom of the league.
“Overall, it’s the Union Berlin we know again.
They defend extremely well and don’t allow much,” says Werner.
They have also “rediscovered” their strength in terms of standards, which has long characterized the capital city team.
All of this awaits
Werder Bremen
on Saturday at the Alte Försterei, where things are traditionally extremely atmospheric.
“You can only win something there with a united team performance, good energy on the pitch and good sharpness in direct duels,” says Werner, who
has played for
Union Berlin once in his career.
Last year the Werder coach and his team suffered a 0-1 defeat in Köpenick.
